    Kesselsknall. A German recipe, basically a large hash brown with bacon and sausage, baked in an oven.

    Mashed, but the key is lots of cream cheese

    Twice-baked potatoes. Bake them, lay them on the side, slice the top off, scoop out the potato while leaving the skin intact like a little boat. Mash the spuds with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, cheese, and bacon bits (scallions too if you like them - I don’t), scoop back into the potato, shred more cheese on top, bake until melted.

    Perfection.

    I think that “best” is tough, but some that I like:

    • Smashed potatoes. More texture than mashed. I favor olive oil over butter.

    • Uno’s — a US Chicago-style pizza chain — has an appetizer that they call “pizza skins”, which is a deep dish pizza basically containing loaded mashed potatoes. I think that it’s pretty good, better than their regular pizzas.

    Food aside, I’ve used disposable spoons/forks/knives made of potato as a plastic alternative. Unlike pretty much every similar product that has a weird taste/texture or shit durability, the potato ones were pretty much indistinguishable from plastic except that the texture was kinda higher traction if that makes any sense. Like it’d kinda grab your lips a bit as they were sliding across a spoon, vs the plastic version is slightly less friction.

    But, you stop noticing that after like the third bite.

    Haven’t seen them used in years, so no idea if they’re still being produced, but it seemed like a golden standard to replace plastic the few times I used it.

      That’s a thing?? Whoa. The wooden ones SUCK, plastic is alright but plastic… how are the potato ones to clean? One of the nice things about the plastic ones is you can clean them and keep them around in your bag for next time you need a spoon.

        Personally I would deep fry it rather than bake it, but to each their own

      Do you cut it before, after, or mid way through cooking?

        I’m guessing here, but if I wanted to make this, I would par-bake the potato @ 350°F / 180° C for about 10-15 minutes, freeze it, then cut, then deep fry for 3-7 minutes.

        Looks delicious however they did it.

        Edit: https://www.allrecipes.com/bloomin-potato-recipe-11893783

        They used a microwave and conventional oven. Also they cut it first.

    1. Boil them

    2. Mash them

    3. Stick them in a stew
