I wasn’t expecting this reaction…
I know someone else has posted it but I’ll add it here for visibility
That’s just lazy french fries.
Hasselbacks are great
I was going to say hasselback but now I might change my answer.
Hasslebacks sexy little sister?
Cartesian hasselback

Is this cut after/during baking or before? I want to eat this right now.

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.

They used a microwave and conventional oven. Also they cut it first.
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.
In taiwan they bake them, mash them, sculpt the mash into a potato shape, bread that, fry it, cut that open, then serve it with some combo of broccoli, corn, pineapple, shrimp, oyster mushroom and always swimming in an inch of nacho cheese.
Damn I really miss living in Taiwan
Agreed
German potato dumplings!
Maybe I never had a good one? I could probably find a hundred potato dishes more delicious than the German potato dumpling, including straight up boiled potatoes with butter.
Could be, my Oma made em from scratch only for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was my favorite food then and I miss them now.
I need to find an authentic German grandma that can make some proper dumplings for me, then I can make a proper judgement!
Yes you do!
Vodka
Either you’ve never tasted vodka or you’ve never tasted anything else made from potatoes.
Best thing != best tasting thing
Taste is just one feature, and not the most important for vodka.
Taste is the second most important feature of Vodka in that it is not supposed to have one. The least important feature is whether it is made from potatoes or not. You can make vodka out of practically anything.
it would not be called vodka if you made it from something else
You’d be surprised…
i’m not surprised, only disappointed.
Most vodka is grain based
Isn’t rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer cheaper though?
Rubbing alcohol will kill you at much lower doses. Isopropanol and ethanol have very different effects on your physiology.
I don’t know how safe hand sanitizer is, but the other ingredients aren’t meant for human consumption.
Either you’ve never tasted good vodka
Good vodka is just vodka that tastes less like vodka.
I’ve only tried it once but, Chopin vodka was nice.
grey goose or costco’s generic vodka of the same vodka
You can just run cheap as dirt vodka through a water filter a few times to make it basically indistinguishable from top shelf vodka.
We tested this out several times in college with blind tastings at parties.
maybe in elite ivy league colleges you get water filters, our version was when the roach managed to hang on inside the faucet long enough to fill up your glass
Huh? We just bought a cheap Brita pitcher filter and used it.
Ugh, Brita is the worst.
I actually prefer potato vodka over grain-based.

How has no one said a loaded baked potato.
Large large potato Stuffed with shredded chicken or pulled pork, bacon, sour cream, cheese, and chives, then bbq sauce or some hot sauce.
That’s perfect use for a potato.
Ireland.
Not Latvia?
pierogi, duh
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.
/shrug
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.
No idea. I think the pitch was for them to be biodegradable in a fairly short timespan, so I’d guess they don’t hold up well to sustained moisture. If you washed them immediately after using and then dry them off, you could probably get some reusability out of them. They’re not like that horrible paper shit that starts falling apart mid-use, but only ever used them after they were provided when ordering takeout - used em once and threw them out.
That makes sense!
