I like the insides of the potato and my husband likes to eat the skins filled with green chili, kimchee, vegan cheese, etc. We live in the Southwest and green chilis are LIFE. During green chili season, you go get your giant bag of roasted green chilies from the roaster (almost always a family run business who have been doing it for generations). At home, you process them how you like (most people chop and freeze them). The smell of roasted green chili hangs in the air in New Mexico and parts of Colorado all during roasting season. At this time, you also buy the stringed chilies called ristras. We use them as decoration but at the same time pull chilies off to use all year until you’re ready for your next ristra at the following harvest. So happy to see green chilies represented on the channel!!
I love your channel. I'm 74 years old. I have most of your books. Over 1000. I just got the M& V Price book. A lot over good memory's. Thank you. Barbara C.,Oregon
You always make me smile. I’m a 77 year old woman recently married to my soulmate, David. And I like to try new recipes for him. Thanks for the good ideas with baked potatoes. 🎉❤
Jeanne Jones!!??? I knew her. My friend Johanna Nelson was her assistant writing another book, the Calculating Cook. One time when things were a little behind and a deadline was looming, I got to have lunch at her house and be Jo's assistant. I can guarantee you that Ms. Jones was painstaking in her preparations for her books. I believe you can trust her recipes.
There used to be a food court spot at the mall (1970's) called One Potato Two Potato that served baked potatoes with your favorite topping. This was before microwaves and we didn't eat baked potatoes often because they took so long to bake in the oven.
That's almost exactly how I make my baked potatoes. The only difference is once I coat the outside with vegetable oil I then sprinkle sea salt all over the outside before baking. Yum!
Around the time I was in junior high school, my mum used to take us kids out to eat sometimes at a place that had extremely flavorful baked potatoes. One time Mum thought to ask how they got that flavor, and the answer was that before they foil-wrapped the taters for baking, they coated them with ... Italian salad dressing! So from that day on, that was included in Mum's baked potato prep.
A medium size potato has seven grams of protein. There is a guy in Australia who ate ONLY potatoes for a year (don’t think I could do that). At the end of it he was healthy and he had lost a ton of weight. Love your videos!!! I look forward to them every week.
This has so many great ideas! For those of us who try to be as gluten free as possible having a potato base for pizza or instead of noodles or biscuits sounds really delicious.
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.
There was a place in Greenwood Indiana mall that had like 30 choices for toppings for baked potatoes back in the 1980s. I’ve never been a fast food person so I loved having a better choice.
Girl, I've become your latest fan, looking for fresh content after the election. I've already watched this once but am watching it again as I went back and watched your older videos and loved those too. I just want to say, hey, your growth and changes over the past year have been perfect. I love how your channel is growing and getting better. You're well on your way to 100k.
You continue to be my favorite YT Channel, bar none. I have been baking potatoes for over 40 years and scrubbing the bottom of the oven just as long. And now, only now, am I learning to slide my burnt business cookie sheet underneath my potatoes while they bake to save my oven? I’m embarrassed. 😊
I know there was a great deal of potato recipes in the 1940s in Britain because of the war. I love watching rationing stuff. And videos from the 40s and 50s. Love your channel for sure.
I love a good potato meal, when I was teaching they had a salad bar for the teachers and every once in awhile they would do baked potatoes with the broccoli and cheese. I bought every time on those days! So delicous. When I was a kid we did breakfast potatoes. My granny would bake the potato and then do a fried runny egg, bacon or sausage... or both. It was so tasty and the runny egg would moisten the potato. I loved them.
I normally slow cooker bake my potatoes because so much of the year I don't want to heat the kitchen with the oven. That and for years the only vegetable my youngest would eat was baked sweet potato. These recipes look fun.
There is a church down the road from me. They do a free lunch on Wednesdays. And honestly some times it is really helpful for my family. Once in a while they do baked potatoes topped with cheese sauce and a sloppy Joe made by one of thr ladies. It is so good!
It’s baked potato season at our house! We have them once a week, just about, this time of year… usually as a main dish leftover vehicle. We used to have baked potato dinner parties back in the day… the hosted baked a ton of spuds and guests brought toppings. A fun cheap dinner for all involved. Thanks for the ideas :)
Another Anna video with that lovely jazzy background music. Perfect volume it doesn’t drowned you out and when you stop talking in between you can really hear it. I like like it a lot. It gives your videos class I guess is the best way to put it.
Perfect timing! The 5th of November is Bonfire Night in the UK where lots of people will be eating jacket potatoes 🥔 🔥. Thanks for all the delicious ideas!
I found this exact cookbook in a thrift store in Eureka Springs, AR two days ago! I feel like I manifested this video flipping through the pages of this weird and wonderful book.
When I lived in the UK, sausage casserole in a potato as well as beans and cheese in a potato were staples. I also know that tuna and corn mayo are popular.
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 like to microwave my potatoes. Only takes 4-5 minutes and voila! Much easier than baking in an oven and heating up the whole house. I may try that chile relleno one; looked interesting.
I love your expression when smashing the potatoes 😂😂😂 “hi” This is such a great inspiration as it’s really soggy grey and sad in Wisconsin right now and life needs some warm potatoes 🥔
Love to use leftovers to top a baked. Chicken Florentine sounds great. Pizza ones would be good for folks who don't do wheat. The British don't have Russet potatoes, they use Moris Piper potatoes. They are a bit smaller but as I understand have the same fluffy texture.
We bake our potatoes nearly the same way you do (a few less "pokes" and we apply a light coating of oil with our hands or a paper towel). I'm going to try it your way next time. I first tried a pototo bar in the 1980s when I was teaching. We enjoyed one last March for a church dinner. So comforting, imo. Thanks for some good recipes w unique combinations!
Now that you’ve done a baked potato video. How about doing one on sweet potatoes and what you can do with those! I think that would be a great idea I’m trying to switch from a start year potato to the little more self-conscious sweet potato and I’d love some ideas. Thank you
What a great idea for a video! I'll definitely keep an eye out for this cookbook, I LOVE topped baked potatoes as a meal. When the fridge is running low, it's amazing how good a nice scoop of cottage cheese and a sprinkle of leftover veggies or meat is on a baked potato (don't knock it til you've tried it!)
We always wrapped our potatoes in foil growing up too, now I just put them in a baking dish. I’ve never put them right on the rack but now I know I could save myself a dish to wash! Lol definitely going to try these recipes I’ve just bought a 10 pound bag and so did my brother by accident who lives with my and my boyfriend. So we need to start using these bad boys! lol great video as always, love your content.
As a New Mexican, I know that you can never go wrong when you combine green chile, cheese, and potatoes, it's magic. Breakfast burritos with green chile, eggs, bacon, potatoes, and cheese are just SO amazing. And for Thanksgiving, putting red chile (no meat, just a red chile sauce) over mashed potatoes is divine. Loved the video!
Just like with your well loved pan, I love having some knives I don't care about so I can cut on plates or on a sheet pan or something that I would never do with a good knife.
Baked potatoes with everything like butter and cheese and sour cream, bacon and you can do potatoes in a microwave oven for about 15 minutes. And I like potato pancakes.
I microwave 6 minutes. It works in mine, but then I crisp the outside in a hot oven or the air fryer to get the best of both the speed of the microwave and the crispy skin from the oven. YMMV
That mixer is amazing. Its won awards. But i just dont use one enough to justify that price tag. If i were luving the life of Anna, i would sure have it, too.
I love baked potatoes too. I think the oven method gives the best texture, plus the smell is so comforting for me. Also, I 100% agree on pizza. Even bad pizza is still good because…pizza!! 🍕❤
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. ❤ 🥔
I only buy the jumbo potatoes from Wal-Mart because they're perfect lenth for French fries, way easier to peel, and 2 of them will feed my family of 4 people more than adequately! It's SO worth the $8 price😊 TIP: I peel and slice potatoes for fries and put them covered in water in the fridge. They last throughout the week and saves so much time. Just take out a handful or two & dry them well before frying. I just use my salad spinner!
I am trying to find a cookbook from the 80’s that my mom swears was named “100 ways to cook hamburger” and while I can find several books with similar names, none of them are right. This one has this recipe that I loved that involved hamburger in a baking pan layered with slices of potato and had soy sauce in it? I recall really enjoying this dish and I’m feeling nostalgic about it. I wish I could find that cook book, I bet there were other recipes in it my Mom made as well.
What a great video! Thank you so much. 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.
The thought of having to prepare the pepper for chili rellenos is a daunting task & the reason I've never done it, but they're my fave. Thank you for a recipe to bypass the arduous prep work. I can't wait to make this for my family!!
A medium size potato has seven grams of protein. There is a guy in Australia who ate ONLY potatoes for a year (don’t think I could do that). At the end of it he was healthy and he had lost a ton of weight. Love your videos!!! I look forward to them every week 😁. Take care of yourself 💛
Yay! You have a meat pan! The well-used metal pan than can also do for potatoes and other things. My grandmothers and mother always had a meat pan, which did need replacing from time to time. 👍❤️
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.
the only restaurant i know that does different baked potatos is McAllisters. Basically very similar to Panera but better 😂 one of the options is “A Spud”
Hi Anna! Thank you for the recipes you featured in this video! I am going to try them out! My family loves baked potatoes with chorizo, monterey jack cheese, and salsa/sour cream/chives. I am looking forward to the next set of recipes you're going to feature soon! Have a blessed week!❤
Wasn't sure what dinner was going to be, and baked potato was an option... Now I'm thinking baked potato is fate. (I got so excited when I realized what your shirt was 🐸🪨)
I love my potatoes baked without the oil. The skin ends up nice and crispy and that is my favorite part. Glad to see one of my favorite foods featured. 😊
I live in ohio. We have a small family restaurant that serves potato pizza. It has pierogi filling on top of a pizza crust. I get it with extra sour cream.
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 😋
I do baked potatoes in the microwave. Prick once with a fork and about 9-11 minutes for two medium russets works for me. Thanks for another fun retro cooking episode. Always fun!
If I dont have time to bake a potato, what I like to do is prick the potato with a fork then soak the potato in a water/salt mixture for abt 30 minutes then cook in the microwave. For my microwave, the Potato setting works perfectly.
So cool! That chile relleno one looked amazing, all of these looked amazing! And I am so there for the pizza potato, how can I not try this! Cute pumpkin is facing away! Is he in trouble? Is he mad at us? My heart breaks for cute pumpkin! These were so great! Thank you, Anna! 😌✨
@@cooking_the_books Oh Anna, we study your bookshelves as you speak! I assumed the pumpkin was now helping you decorate for the fall, since the video posted after Halloween.
So many countries love putting weird stuff on baked potatoes. Tuna salad, shrimp salad, baked beans, corn and cheese, etc. I have seen this in the UK and Australia and someone mentioned it's popular in New Zealand too. There's at least one scene in Kath and Kim (Australian show) where they go to a baked potato place in the mall. I just can't imagine the cold salad on top. Then again, I am not a big tuna fan. I have even seen travel videos with baked potato food stalls in places like Japan and Korea. I love baked potatoes. I will go to steak places, eat my salad and baked potato, and take the steak home for later. Cracker Barrel has a good baked potato and salad lunch. Just sayin...
Thanks for showing us your messy baking pan - that’s real life.
I like the insides of the potato and my husband likes to eat the skins filled with green chili, kimchee, vegan cheese, etc. We live in the Southwest and green chilis are LIFE.

In the early 80s, I remember baked potato bars/ buffets with bowls of help yourself toppings at a party 🎉
We had that for a catered lunch at one of my previous jobs and everyone loved it! 😋
Stuffed potatoes were so popular in the 80s. Loved it.
My friends and I still have these lunches, a potato bar
I love your channel. I'm 74 years old. I have most of your books. Over 1000. I just got the M& V Price book. A lot over good memory's. Thank you. Barbara C.,Oregon
Barbara! Over 1,000 books? You are a woman after my own heart ❤️!! Books… my true soul mate
Hi Barbara. I'm another fan from Oregon, Corvallis. She makes my Sunday nights
I don’t think she has over 1,000 books
❤🥔❤
How did the potato relleno reheat?
You always make me smile. I’m a 77 year old woman recently married to my soulmate, David. And I like to try new recipes for him. Thanks for the good ideas with baked potatoes. 🎉❤
That’s so sweet!! I’m 60 and still looking/waiting for that special guy 😊❤

Oh my, what a fantastic story! The three recipes I tried for the video were winners, and I can't wait to try more of them.
@@cooking_the_books That last one looked faaaabulous. I'm going to modify it for me and give it a try.

Yay air fryers and microwaves
I remember something similar in San Francisco many years ago.
We ate at one called "One Potato Two" in our mall in the 1980's. Our favorite there was the taco potato.
I did not expect these '80s baked potato recipes to be so creative. I definitely want to try the chile relleno potato!
Same! I was pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to try even more of the recipes! 😋
Being single, baked potatoes are an entire meal for me and I LOVE THEM!!!❤🥔
Me too! I especially love to top them with broccoli and cheddar and call it a meal! Yummmy!
I always say "I've never met a potato I didn't like" Thanks for the recipes!
Words to live by! 😊
I just purchased a 2 dollar bag of 5 lbs of potatoes. Perfect timing lol

It may be fussy, but whipping the egg whites is what gives chilli relleno the texture it has. That final recipe sounds amazing
My family made their chili reyenos as she described with the unwhipped egg white. Both ways of making them are delicious in different ways.
Yes exactly! It turned out to be so worth it. I shouldn't be so hesitant about egg whites because my mixer whips them up in no time. 😂
Our favorites are taco filled baked potatoes, pulled pork BBQ potatoes and bulgogi stuffed potatoes.
There is a church down the road from me. They do a free lunch on Wednesdays. And honestly some times it is really helpful for my family.

There is a food truck near me that specializes in potatoes, and it's fantastic. They put everything imaginable on them, and all of them are delicious.
That sounds amazing! 😋
I love putting things in baked potatoes 😋
It's been too long, time for 3 bean chili over a spud 😋
We have done Baked potato bar as an easy dinner that is customizable by each family member. Great new flavor ideas. Thanks
Potatoes are exactly what I want in winter cold
Great video! I've had this cookbook forever, but haven't used it in years. Perfect time of year for these ideas.

Also, I 100% agree on pizza. Even bad pizza is still good because…pizza!! 🍕❤
Would love to see more recies from this book! Definitely the bannana one and the turkey one😊
If I am doing dinner in a hurry and want a baked potato, I cook them 60 - 70% of the way . And finish them in the oven, it works out pretty good!
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. ❤ 🥔

TIP: I peel and slice potatoes for fries and put them covered in water in the fridge. They last throughout the week and saves so much time. Just take out a handful or two & dry them well before frying. I just use my salad spinner!
I am trying to find a cookbook from the 80’s that my mom swears was named “100 ways to cook hamburger” and while I can find several books with similar names, none of them are right. This one has this recipe that I loved that involved hamburger in a baking pan layered with slices of potato and had soy sauce in it? I recall really enjoying this dish and I’m feeling nostalgic about it. I wish I could find that cook book, I bet there were other recipes in it my
Mom made as well.
Yes, breakfast baked potatoes recipes! 😊
Loved this episode! Who doesn't love potatoes? 😅🎉
What a great video! Thank you so much.
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.
The thought of having to prepare the pepper for chili rellenos is a daunting task & the reason I've never done it, but they're my fave. Thank you for a recipe to bypass the arduous prep work. I can't wait to make this for my family!!
I'd love to see your Pyrex collection! I'm partial to the orange/yellow/brown- so love that Butterfly Gold bowl!
A medium size potato has seven grams of protein. There is a guy in Australia who ate ONLY potatoes for a year (don’t think I could do that). At the end of it he was healthy and he had lost a ton of weight. Love your videos!!! I look forward to them every week 😁. Take care of yourself 💛
Yay! You have a meat pan! The well-used metal pan than can also do for potatoes and other things. My grandmothers and mother always had a meat pan, which did need replacing from time to time. 👍❤️
I feel like it's a very important kitchen item that doesn't get enough love. 😂
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.
Love potatoes!
the only restaurant i know that does different baked potatos is McAllisters. Basically very similar to Panera but better 😂 one of the options is “A Spud”
Yum, I love McAllisters. 😋
Hi Anna! Thank you for the recipes you featured in this video! I am going to try them out! My family loves baked potatoes with chorizo, monterey jack cheese, and salsa/sour cream/chives. I am looking forward to the next set of recipes you're going to feature soon! Have a blessed week!❤
Oh my that combination sounds amazing! 😋
Wasn't sure what dinner was going to be, and baked potato was an option... Now I'm thinking baked potato is fate.
(I got so excited when I realized what your shirt was 🐸🪨)
Yay! You're one of a handful of people who recognized my shirt and I'm VERY excited about it. 😊
I love my potatoes baked without the oil. The skin ends up nice and crispy and that is my favorite part. Glad to see one of my favorite foods featured. 😊
I’m definitely going to try the Potato Relleno!
It's such a great recipe! 😊
omg the shirt!!!!! amazing!! i love that
Really awesome recipe ❤❤❤❤❤
I live in ohio. We have a small family restaurant that serves potato pizza. It has pierogi filling on top of a pizza crust. I get it with extra sour cream.
Another winning video…I’m part Irish…love anything 🥔based!
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 😋
Look forward to your channel every Sunday!! Hope your hip is healing.
Thank you! I'm almost through my PT and doing well. ❤
That is awesome!!!
I do baked potatoes in the microwave. Prick once with a fork and about 9-11 minutes for two medium russets works for me. Thanks for another fun retro cooking episode. Always fun!
My mother-in-law (Irish decent) used to call potato skins "jackets"
If I dont have time to bake a potato, what I like to do is prick the potato with a fork then soak the potato in a water/salt mixture for abt 30 minutes then cook in the microwave. For my microwave, the Potato setting works perfectly.
Thanks Anna. I love these! Of course there is one family member that only likes potatoes as fries or hash browns. I just don't get it.🥴
So cool! That chile relleno one looked amazing, all of these looked amazing! And I am so there for the pizza potato, how can I not try this!
Cute pumpkin is facing away! Is he in trouble? Is he mad at us? My heart breaks for cute pumpkin!
These were so great! Thank you, Anna! 😌✨
Haha I love that you caught cute pumpkin! I was moving things around and must have forgotten to turn him.
@@cooking_the_books Oh Anna, we study your bookshelves as you speak! I assumed the pumpkin was now helping you decorate for the fall, since the video posted after Halloween.
So many countries love putting weird stuff on baked potatoes. Tuna salad, shrimp salad, baked beans, corn and cheese, etc. I have seen this in the UK and Australia and someone mentioned it's popular in New Zealand too. There's at least one scene in Kath and Kim (Australian show) where they go to a baked potato place in the mall. I just can't imagine the cold salad on top. Then again, I am not a big tuna fan. I have even seen travel videos with baked potato food stalls in places like Japan and Korea. I love baked potatoes. I will go to steak places, eat my salad and baked potato, and take the steak home for later. Cracker Barrel has a good baked potato and salad lunch. Just sayin...
I love that you mentioned Kath and Kim! 😊
