Everything " Sauce " for Baked Potatoes

"I got so tired of crowding the table with toppings for baked potatoes that I decided to premix them, using our favorites. The "fat-ness" of the sour cream, butter/margarine & cheese can vary according to my whim. Use herbed sour cream dips to suit your fancy. This is my one-handed response to "please pass me the sour cream, butter, cheese, chives and bacon bits" while I continue eating with the other hand. ;-)"

  1. What a cute idea! I knew this would go over well at my house, and I was right. Uhh, what's up with the one tablespoon serving size? This stuff is just too good; you can't stop at one tablespoon!
     
  2. This is fantastic. For some reason, even our sour cream haters, love it.
     
  3. Yum! I made as directed, but didn't add the butter. I don't usually add both butter and sour cream, lol. Really good. I agree with others - 1T is not enough! Thanks SusieQusie for a nice keeper. made for All You Can Cook Buffet special.
     
  4. This was really yummy! I agree with some of the other reviewers -- the 1 tablespoon serving size is not possible in this house. ;) We smother our potatoes! I used all light ingredients and think next time I will cut down the butter to 1 tbsp because it was a little bit runny. Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. I let the mixture warm a little bit at room temperature. But as it's cold here, I decided to help it and put it a few seconds in the microwave. Maybe too long cause it was runny. But it was delicious spooned over the baked potatoes and topped with crispy bacon. It tasted the same thing as twice-baked potatoes. Thanks Susie :) Made for Zaar Star Game

Tweaks

  1. I added a bit of salt since I use unsalted butter.
