Sour cream, salsa, guacamole. Sort of a Mexican-inspired dish. My kids love it when I make them.

Hi Mary Ruth, where have you been? We've missed you! Isn't it about time for another tea party? Have you been doing any new decorating projects we should hear about? Did you mention that you might be moving? Fill us in on what's going on in your life, okay? Hi Kathy, glad you came on over too. There are so many wonderful forums to check out on Gardenweb--hard to keep up with all your favorites, isn't it? I check Painting and Holidays everyday, then Crafts and Garden Junk as time permits. On days when I just want to browse (lazy and don't want to do housework or anything) I look at Crafts, Cleaning, Home Dec., etc. just to see what's new. I'm sure I'm probably missing some other good ones too. LOL Luvs

Convection Microwave + Toaster vs Convection Toaster + Microwave?
Q
Comments (5)
It's possible that the convection microwave would do it, especially if it's a built-in, 240V, but if your current toaster oven is as perfect for your current needs as it sounds, I'd keep it so long as it's functional. I have some doubts about the 120V convection MWs--I've only used them at others' houses but they seem inadequate. You can decide after you have the new kitchen if you prefer another appliance for your toaster oven uses. I'd guess that the smaller range oven would be a better toaster oven alternative, but I can't guess about heating times, etc. A good range oven should heat evenly. It may not, but it should.

I boil potatoes in the skins for mashed potatoes, then peel while still hot. For Hasselback potatoes, loaded potato skins, or hash browns, leave skin on. For pot roast, always peel first. When eating, I always scoop the inside and leave the skins of baked potatoes or twice-baked potatoes. A couple of nights ago I made two loaded potato/bacon casseroles, with some baking potatoes and some red skinned potatoes that needed to be used before they sprouted. Mixed both kinds of potatoes, but left some of the skin on the red ones--it was very thin. One casserole had broccoli and cheddar cheese, and the other had Monterey jack, jalapeno peppers, and onions--had enough leftovers for the kids' lunches, and for dinner last night. No one complained about the skins. :)

We always order them with 'the works' - sour cream, onion, black olives, salsa, avocado chunks, bacon and top them with mozarella and sharp cheddar, melted on top - OMGosh, they are tasty!!!

I've never heard of Baked potato skins. How do you make them?

How about bbq, caramelized onions, and cheese?

Or we like to stuff baked potatoes with creamed dried beef--that would also make a good topping for your skins.

Oh Maryann you poor deprived gal. LOL You've never had them? They are SO good!
I always just bake and scoop out and drizzle a little olive oil over the flesh of the shells. Then lots of bacon and cheese. But taco sounds wonderful too!
TGIF's has some good ones.

Here is a link that might be useful: Look here Maryann!

Yummy. We like to take the casing off of linguisa, or Basque Chorizo (NOT Mexican) and fry it up, then add cheese, onions or anything else that looks good at the moment.

Thanks for the link Connie. They sound interesting. I'll start looking for them on the menu when I go out to eat. I don't remember ever seeing them anywhere.
