Which dairy product tops the Loaded Baked Potato?

• A. Butter
• B. Cream cheese
• C. Milk
• D. Sour cream

Answer: (D)

Sour cream is the finishing topping that provides a tangy, creamy contrast to the warm potato and other toppings. It adds moisture and a cool creaminess that balances the richness of butter, cheese, and bacon, helping all the flavors blend together without overpowering them. Butter tends to melt into the potato rather than sit on top, cream cheese is too thick and not a traditional finish, and milk isn’t used as a topping. So sour cream best fits as the classic top for a loaded baked potato.
