Howdy Potatoes

"This is a nice appetizer from one of my three Kitchen Keepsake books. I usually baked more potatoes than the recipe calls for since there is usually more dip than dippers for us. The preparations and cooking times are a guess. Cook time depends on how long it takes for your potato to bake."

  1. What a spectacular recipe! My husband gave it a huge thumbs-up. I just cleaned my taters and popped them in the microwave for about 8 minutes, then let cool slightly and cut into wedges to deep fry. Oh gosh, gonna make these again without a doubt. Thanks! ~ Sheila
     
  2. The only way I do "french-fries" now.....absolutely love the potatoes done this way. The pre-baking makes them nice and tender and the "rough" edges once they've been wedged seems to grab the perfect amount of crispiness once fried. The dip is good (I loved it, my family didn't) but as I said this now just our standard "fry" recipe to serve with burgers - no dip needed unless you want some ketchup!
     
  3. I swear I had reviewed this recipe before! I've just got to say the dip that goes with these potatoes are the bomb! I've made this 2 or 3 times and my 11 yo daughter asks for it every time I make home fries now. If I have the ingredients on hand, I make it! I do leave out the mushrooms though. Pam
     
  4. Left the mushrooms out because the husband doesn't like them. They were very good! We had a little dip leftover so I ended up baking potatoes and topping it with the dip. I think it would be a great make ahead alternative to loaded baked potatoes.
     
  5. These were really good! I had to leave out the mushrooms and onions from the dip because the majority said so...so not fair. Thanks!
