1. Wash high starch potato (Russet in the US, Maris Piper in UK)
2. Poke with fork all over, cover liberally in fine sea salt.
3. Fashion ring shaped platforms out of foil to lift each potato off baking sheet.
4. Place potatoes on rings on baking sheet, and bake at 425 until soft
5. Split Potatoes open lengthwise and WITH A FUCKING FORK remove 2/3 of 'flesh' and set aside, leaving skin intact
6. Fill cavity with your choice of filling - something fatty, something salty, and something to cut through it. I like a high-grade melting cheese (Comte, Fontina, Aged cheddar), a high flavour meat (bacon, ham, corned beef), and something vegetal (broccoli, rapini, leeks)
7. In the bowl with the reserved flesh from earlier, mix with clarified butter and salt to taste. KEEP IT GOD DAMNED FLUFFY BY MIXING WITH UPWARD MOTIONS FROM BELOW WITH A FORK. Do not over-butter.
8. Gently as fuck with as much air-space as possible top the filled potatoes with the buttered flesh.
9. Brush tops with more clarified butter gently
10. Broil until golden.
Serve with a Rib Steak cooked medium-well.
I've probably cooked more steaks in my lifetime than any 10 people on this board combined, I just can't afford to eat them!*
*Assuming we don't have any other cooks on the board
Every recipe should be written like this. Fucking hilarious.
I think he was talking rib eye steak not actual ribs but i could be wrong.False equivalence. The first two are subjective, the last two are objective.
You really shouldn't compare ribs, which are typically barbecue fodder, to steak.
Ppl that like charred steaks are usually old fucks who remember when Jim Bob ordered a rare steak in the 60s and ended up in a casket the next week. You can't change their ways, heck Mr President eats like that too.I dont get the whole discussion. I prefer my steak rare to medium rare.
I know people who prefer their steak almost charred. While i dont prefer the steak well done it is still better then no steak so i would not refuse it if its free and come
s with beer.
Why not both? Charred AND medium rare.I dont get the whole discussion. I prefer my steak rare to medium rare.
