Saturday Savory: Baked Potato

Another of Alton's recipes for you again. This one is probably one of his simplest recipes, as it has three ingredients only.

The only ingredients you will need to bake this are a potato, oil, and salt. Once it is baked, you
might want some butter, bacon, sour cream or cheese, but those are all optional. To start, preheat the oven to 350º F. and move the racks to the center. Now, here are the steps for this simple recipe:

Now, place the potato on the rack of the oven and let bake for around 1 hour. Alton stated in the book that a medium-sized russet potato should be cooked in 1 hour. To check for doneness, squeeze the potato gently (with gloves); if the outside is crunchy but the inside feels soft, it is done.

That is it! This recipe makes a great side to many dishes, including one I will share with you on Monday. Hope you liked this easy dish, and feel free to leave any comments in the comment section below or on Facebook.

    This was good, but not quite what we expected. You'd think it would be salty, but it wasn't that noticeable. It was tasty, and with some toppings it was quite good!

There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

Saturday Sweetly

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...
