These potatoes tasted like a baked potato with the toppings infused because they literally bake into the potato. They are easy to make and a great switch up to a regular baked potato! All you have to do is melt butter in a glass pan, top with shredded parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then you cut your potatoes in half and lay them face down on top of the parmesan. You can season the other side of the potato, too.
I love how unique these potatoes are in both taste and appearance!
The original recipe called for 1/4 cup of butter, but that seemed like way too much. 3 tablespoons is plenty, and next time I might try them with just 2 and see if that works! If I had fresh rosemary on hand I would definitely add that too!
Ingredients: 7 red potatoes, washed and cut in half 2-3 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese garlic powder sea salt freshly cracked pepper
Directions:
1). Preheat oven to 400F. Melt butter in the bottom of a 9×13 glass pan.
2). Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and seasonings over butter. Place potatoes cut side down and sprinkle more seasonings on top of potatoes.
3). Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cooked through. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
Ingredients 1 1/4 cups finely chopped yellow sweet onions ( Maya, Vidalia, etc) 1 garlic clove, minced 1/4 cup mayonnaise ( Best Foods, Hellmann’s, or Vegenaise) 1/4 cup plain yogurt or 1/4 cup sour cream 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese Tabasco sauce, to taste 1/8 teaspoon curry powder, to taste ( optional, but oh so good!) 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese 1/8 teaspoon smoked spanish paprika or 1/8 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder or 1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, for garnish
Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the onions, garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream, cheddar, and Tabasco (and curry powder, if using). Spread into a lightly pan sprayed small-ish baking dish. Top with Parmesan and sprinkle with paprika to taste. (Ground ancho chile powder can be substituted for the paprika, for a little more kick. I prefer the ancho.). Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion (scallion). Serve hot or warm with crackers, bread, or raw veggie dippers. Makes about 6 servings. I usually make a double batch! 🙂.

When my brother and I were young, we would pick wild blackberries for my grandmothers and my mom in hopes of our favorite dessert, blackberry dumplings. Back then, I hated picking the berries, but I loved the results.
These dumplings stay firm and dense without puffing up in the berry mix.
These days, I don’t mind picking a few gallons of fresh blackberries. It helps that all three of our kids love blackberry recipes as much as I did back then. A bowl of these blackberry dumplings with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, preferably homemade, instantly transports me back in time.
This dumpling recipe stays firm and holds its shape. Almost like a fat, sweet noodle. 1 quart fresh blackberries 2 cups white sugar, or to taste 2 cups water 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup shortening 1 egg yolk 5 tablespoons milk Place blackberries, sugar, water, butter, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Cook and stir occasionally over medium heat until have started to break down and form a sauce, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir the egg yolk into the crumbs. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more milk than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into small balls. Some people like flat dumplings so they to roll into a flat circle and cut into strips, then cut strips into squares.
Drop dumplings (balls or strips) into the berries. Simmer the dumplings, covered, over medium heat for 15 minutes. You may push the dumplings down into the juice but do not stir until they are fully cooked or they will clump together.
**I tried both the dumpling balls and the strips, and I prefer the strips best!! I rolled the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and just dropped them in. YUMMMMY!! Great with ice cream!

Water starts accumulating in the sink and drains slowly. In more severe cases, the sink can be completely clogged. Improper use of the sink can lead to frequent clogs. It’s advisable to prevent hair or fur from entering the drain, as these elements can form deposits over time and clog the drain.
In general, it’s wise to be careful and avoid accidental entry of “foreign” elements into the drain. We’re also referring to food scraps, dust, and other residues. Dirt in the pipes can impair the smooth functioning of your sink, a situation to avoid.
Moreover, lime scale deposits are another cause of potential clogging. Therefore, it’s advisable to prevent this regularly using baking soda and vinegar. These elements dissolve the lime scale and prevent your sink from clogging.
