Baked Potato

[wintermute]

For a lighter tasting baked potato try putting in a little butter, pancetta bits, and some creme fraiche in place of the sour cream. Sprinkle chives, fresh grated parmesan, and top the creme with dill.

Here's my #1:

Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes

Bake large potato(es) in the normal fashion.

When finished, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the potato leaving the halves intact (as shells).

In a bowl, mix the potato you scooped out with the following:

-butter

-crumbled, crispy bacon

-sauteed onions, scallions & garlic

-blanched broccoli, small pcs.

-shredded Cheddar or Pepper Jack cheese

-salt & pepper

-a little cream or milk (optional)

Now, fill the empty potato skin shells with the mixture from the bowl.

Bake again, for about 20 minutes, or so. Remove when the tops are bubbling-browned and crusted over a bit... et voila:

I like it......even the sneaky inclusion of green vegetable....

How about some smoked salmon and fresh cheese with dill.

Get the fresh cheese with dill at Happy Cow next to Makro (This topic was first posted in the Samui Forum)

Check out Santa's on the ground floor of MBK near Tops. Used to be Wendy's, and they still have those baked potatoes

Peanut butter on a baked potato does not sound good to me, but either does baked beans or coleslaw and some people go for them.

Sour cream, chives and bacon bits sounds a lot better.

Baked beans work OK if you're drunk enough....coleslaw is a burger garnish aint it?

I think of going wild and try durian and capers.

You can't beat chicken curry on a couple of large baked spuds instead of rice.....

[NanaFoods]

Fry up some bacon lardons....spring onion sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese....mmmm

not sure what a lardon is, but if it is like bacon bits (real), then that is nearly my favorite topping set.

Only I would add a dab of butter first (so it melts), then add what you have listed above. Yum, indeed.

Try a bowl of chicken curry over browned-top, cheddar mashed potatoes... amazing!

[bkkjames]

Laap moo works great too, it's like a Thai shephard's pie. Lot of Thai food goes well with mashed potato if you're tired of rice

Give us Heinz baked beans!

[Kilgore Trout]

Make a big pot of chilli.....a good spoonful on top and freeze the rest for later.....great popped in the microwave when you're pissed!

Whats wrong guys???!!! You start a thread to discuss a baked potatoe?

Time for your spelling lesson Mr. Quayle

Well lets start with where to buy good potatoes Our supplier in Laem Din is finding it increasingly hard to find the Chiang Mai potatoes and sells us the sweet Malaysian spuds, which taste like large yams

Makro has good tasting spuds.

Yes there lovely and sweet from Japan.
