I guess if a bloomin' onion works, a bloomin' tater does too ...

This reminds me of texastweeter's pic of Texas Pinecones. I've gotta try it, but I've been avoiding potatoes and I hate it....

[richinlbrg]

You hate potatos or hate avoiding them? If the former, this recipe is still a potato.

One day I'll try this with a sweet potato.

[Huskee]

richinlbrg I hate avoiding them. I love them, want them in every meal.

We'll give it a try tomorrow!

Just put two potatoes in the oven while waiting for them to cook I stumbled on to this, pulled the immediately and followed the steps. Back,in the oven now. 🤤

No photos because mine didn’t turn out very photogenic. However I do see many more potatoes in my future... delicious!

Glad you enjoyed it it, hogdog6 ! And the part you cut off is a mini little potato skin, too! Just have to remember to take them out early.

Dude this was awesome! I happened to see your post right before I started dinner. Had to go for it. Not the prettiest things in the world, but delicious!

[richinlbrg]

Looks great to me. So glad you enjoyed it!

Seems like a wonderful thing to do with a potato. I will be trying this soon, thanks!

If you have a french fry press you can achieve close to the same results by pressing it down but not all the way through the potato and save yourself a lot of time.

Now THAT is a fabulous idea! I'm gonna go look for one on Amazon right now!

I was thinking the same thing as I was just considering getting a french fry press. They also do a great job dicing onions and peppers as well. Much more consistent dice than a food processor.

This is pretty much the same thing as a hasselback potato without having to slice off one side of the potato and making the tedious circle cuts.

on a different note, when i cook potatoes on the grill, i always do extras, if there are several left over, a couple of days later my wife cuts them up and makes french fries with them. best fries ever.

When I have room on the stick burner I do the same thing. I put a whole rack of potatoes on and smoke until done or nearly done usually 3 to 5lbs. They make the best American fries for breakfast you could ask for!

i like that idea!
