We describe the inner functions $\Theta$ such that $$ \|1+\Theta f\|_{H^p}^p \ge 1-|\Theta(0)|^2 $$ for all $p>0$ and $f\in H^p$. We prove that each such inner function $\Theta$ satisfying $\Theta(0)\not=0$ is an interpolating Blaschke product. Moreover, we study the inner functions such that $\|1+\Theta f\|_{H^p}^p\ge1-|\Theta(0)|^2$ for all $p>0$ and for all $f\in H^p$ for which $1+\Theta f$ does not vanish in the unit disk.

Keywords: Hardy spaces, Blaschke products, best approximation.
