I just had to write that title out that long..
Why?
Because I have to say that this supper was one of my favourite foods I think I have had the the pleasure in enjoying eating in a good while.. And I think you would agree that we eat pretty darn well!
It’s a simple thing the baked potato..
Yet when spritzed and sprinkled with Cornish sea salt , and baked in a medium hot oven till crisp on the outside and cloud like on the inner it’s a joy.. Not Mickey waved , chef ping has no role to play here ..
Toppings?
These are my favourite and what ultimately makes the humble spud great..
Miso butter..
Couldn’t find where I have put he miso paste.. The nice white one.. So used and itsu miso soup base instead.. Whooped into unsalted French butter.. it’s a winner!!!
Sour cream with dill and chives..
Sourcream mixed with fresh chopped dill and chives.. A scraping of black pepper and that’s it..
Streaky bacon.. Cooked till not quite super crisp.. It’s a nice thick oak smoked one .. smothered in maple syrup. .. Yeah oh yeah..
All into the spud.. Miso butter first it’s great.. Cooling Sourcream just firming up a little with the heat of the spud..
Bacon crowning the top..
Beautiful..
Seriously .. Beautiful..

Holy Sweet Baby Jemima – thanks Sue!!! Almost as brilliant as your miso butter and these spuds. I like how you’ve skewered them. Do you fry or bake the bacon? They are beautifully flat…

They bake best when skewered I reckon? You ? Fried the bacon.. Slow x that oak smoked thick cut holds it’s own.. My bacon is still curing..

I stab them with a fork, rinse them and sprinkle them with sea salt before baking – must try the skewer next time…

Stab oil and salt and skewer to get heat inside also?
