baked potato bar toppings

12/27/11 		I know you have stated that use the same amount of toppings for a baked potato bar as you would for tacos. I looked at the taco site you mentioned. I am wondering if that still holds true, as it does not appear to me as the correct amounts. We are having a potato bar at my brother's wedding and I do not want to run short. There will be 55 people ( all adults 25-45 in age) dressing a whole medium to large potato. Thank you for your assistance.

12/28/11 		Thank you Ellen,I never have done a baked potato bar and the amounts seemed slim. I know when you purchase a loaded baked potato the topping is as large or larger than the potato. My brother wanted gravy as a topping, do you think that it would be popular in lieu of the other toppings. His meats are prime rib and cranberry chicken?

I suggest you make some baked potato dinners where you measure the toppings before you add them to the size potato you are planning to use, this will give you a visual on whether the amounts will be right for you.
