Best and Easiest Baked Potato Recipe
Today, I thought we could go back to the basics and review a simple skill that every good home cook should master, how to bake a potato.
I know what you’re thinking, why all the fuss about a baked potato? Well, let me start by saying if you’ve ever enjoyed a good supper club/restaurant-style baked potato, you know what I’m talking about. Those baked potatoes with skins that are irresistibly golden, and crispy with a satisfying hint of crunchy salt in each bite. The insides are perfectly light, fluffy, and steamy, ready to enjoy with a melty pad of butter, a dash of fresh chives, or maybe loaded up with all of your favorite toppings. If you’ve had that, then you know what the fuss is about. If not, trust me when I say it’s worth the extra time needed to make the potato.

Brushing Teeth with Little Ones
For those of you that might be new here, I’m Jenn, a mom of 5 ranging from 3 years old all the way to 18, yes, that’s right, 18 years old. So I’ve been doing teeth brushing routines for a while now and one thing I’ve learned… once you think you have it down, one of your kids changes it up on you. My 2 oldest just needed fun toothpaste and they were good. My 3 youngest, on the other hand, need more than fun toothpaste to get through their teeth brushing.

My Go-To Red Velvet Cake
Red velvet cake is more than just a white cake dyed red, it’s also not a full-fledged chocolate cake. Instead, it has a buttery, tangy flavor with a slight chocolate undertone. Red velvet cake has a pretty unique flavor with an old-fashioned, from-scratch quality that I love. In my opinion… no boxed red velvet cake mix can compare to the work and effort.

Scallion-Potato Pancakes
Have you heard of Kartóffelpuffer? The kartóffelpuffer is a traditional German potato pancake that is usually served at Christmas time. Well, this is my mash-up of that pancake with some ingredients from traditional Chinese Scallion Pancakes (葱油饼)
This is probably one of my favorite mashups of my and my husband’s cultures, it’s also one of my kids’ all-time favorite sides. I use the basics of the German potato pancake and replaced onions with scallions, then I added fish sauce and mushroom bullion to add an amazing umami flavor.
