    On leftover night, my mom would do stuffed baked potatoes with leftovers. Meatloaf, chicken, ham, steak, sausage, hotdogs, BBQ pulled meats, etc. We would also put veggies on them as well. Whatever was left over or a remnant from cooking or Taco night. Tomatoes, onions, broccoli, peas, carrots, green onions, microgreens, etc. Sour cream, butter, salsa (Dad's favorite), shredded cheese, cheese sauce, sour cream ranch, BBQ sauce,, etc.

    Someone below already made this comment, but I want to second putting kosher salt on the outside of the potato after the oil. I was told this hint by a restauranteur. The salt isn't for taste, but to help draw out the moisture from the potato to make it fluffy.

    What a fabulous idea!!! I was trying to think of something for an open house, and I think you did it for me. ❤🎉 Baked potatoes and several crockpots of stuff to throw on the potatoes, along with dishes of butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon, and maybe some pepitas.
    I have an old sheet pan like your "drip" pan. I also have a silicone sheet on the oven floor that I got on Amazon. Instead of a serving spoon like yours, I have two grapefruit spoons for that kind of stuff.
    That Florentine potato looks marvelous.
    Because I have allergies, I can't eat bread and crusts. So I am always looking for something else to mimic pizza. So YUM. But I feel, much like my loyalty to Duke's when it comes to mayonnaise, I only use Pastorelli's for pizza sauce. I am seriously reconsidering moving somewhere warm in retirement because the grocery stores don't sell Pastorelli's. It's that good. I would have to use Amazon, and it would be MUCH more than I usually pay for it.
    Winter is one big chicken stock!
    I bet that relleno potato would be good with cream cheese. VERY pretty presentation! Wow! Your face just shows how good it is.
    I remember food courts with loaded baked potato restaurants.
    This book is a good prompt to get the creativity flowing.
    As always, thank you for a great video.

    @abunchahooey День тому +2

    What an awesome cookbook! Here’s my thoughts: the first potato, the chicken florentine, wouldn’t it be good with the addition of buttered bread crumbs?? 😂 And that third potato… wonder what else the egg white/folded in yolk would be good on? Some casserole or stew? Idk… they all looked really good. I’ve recently found out that to store potatoes long term , get a sturdy cardboard box, line the bottom with newspaper, one layer of potatoes, one layer of newspaper and so on. Box should be stored in a cool dry dark place, like your husband’s side of the closet 😂 It said the potatoes last a very long time with this storage method.

      I took some footage a few weeks ago so I could share it. Many of our leaves are gone now too due to recent high winds. ☹

    In winter, I enjoy putting foil wrapped potatoes in my woodstove to bake. Microwave potatoes are quick and easy but there is just something decadent about a real baked potato, even before you top it. My cousin is a big twice baked potato fan. ❤ 🥔

    Minority opinion: potatoes in the microwave, especially if covered in toppings, taste no different than the oven. That said, if I have to bake them again like you did w a lot of these, I’d go for the oven. But generally the microwave in 5 min bursts gets me a good potato that takes 10 min or so versus an hour in the oven.
    Also, I want to go to the Pottsfield Harvest Festival! Not that I’ve ever been, but I am stuck in a big city now and they don’t have any fall activities 😩

    The name of your channel is very clever😀I had a baked potato with butter and sour cream for dinner last night! I saw on Americas Test Kitchen where they plopped the potatoes in salty water before baking and they turn out great, particularly if you eat the skin of the potatoes. I will try your method and see if I prefer that. I used to work at a mall that had a baked potato restaurant, that’s all they had, with a variety of toppings. I usually got the broccoli and cheese on top but my favorite is with butter, sour cream and chives from the garden 😋
