Butter is non-negotiable. It's the canvas. And then? Go wild. Sour cream and chives are the classics. Cheddar, bacon, and broccoli are the heavy hitters.

I once put a fried egg and sriracha on a 325-degree potato. It was the best decision I made that entire month. No regrets. You can't mess this up. Well, you can, but it takes real effort.
