[Food] I made the most amazing baked potato for lunch. Crunchy outside, tasty gooey inside and lots of cheese.

reineke
ohh, what kind of cheese?

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
Colby and Jack!

reineke
mhmm

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
it was so good

reineke
any special tips on how to get it so perfect?

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
poke it with lots of holes with a fork. Wash the outside then dry it and very lightly salt it. Bake it until it's still a little firm in the center then cut a line through the center without going end to end.

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
push the sides in with oven mitts so it open and put butter inside

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
bake it for another 10 minutes

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
delicious

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
then add cheese and melt it a bit. >>

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
enjoy

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
also

I really want to do that thing ever since I've seen it...

reineke
I think the main problem is that here, we don't really get potatoes of that size xD

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
you can do it with small potatoes too!

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
also if you do them lengthwise instead with little ones it works pretty well

reineke
ohh, I'll have to try

reineke
just have to adjust cooking length and all, will have to see how long it takes

put it in my mouth

Kbity
omg I might have to try this

Kbity
the sliced potato thing is really good too

Kbity
I like to make a dip with ranch and sriracha and dip my potato bits in that

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
I also periodically make twice baked potatoes and mix in veggies

Kbity
mmm

Kbity
like broccolis?

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
scoop potato out of mostly baked potato, blend with milk/cheese/sour cream and sauteed mushrooms, or broccoli, or spinach

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
or stir in pieces of cooked chicken and herbs after you mash the potato insides

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
put the mix back in the skins, top with more cheese or put cheese or cooked bacon in the skin before stuffing = tasty potato meal

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
actually works well with palm sized potatoes if you have the patience to scoop them because tiny twice baked potatoes are easier to pick up and eat.

KαηiηєKяυηcнiєѕ
and the leftover mixed potato makes a good side dish for another meal
