  1. These potatoes were yummy! I pulverized the corn flakes in my food processor and I have to say how amazing the potatoes were! Even though I removed the skins prior to baking, the corn flakes them selves acted just like a crunchy skin. Thanks for posting Andi!
     
  2. What a great idea! It's so hot here I decided to cut the potatoes in half horizontally to reduce the baking time. I brushed even the cut sides with butter & rolled in the crumbs. I loved the results. Crunchy, and with a dab of fat free sour cream we didn't even want extra butter. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
     
  3. This was so easy and tasted great. A different way to enjoy baked potatoes, I didn't have corn flakes so used panko and that worked great. Had a nice spicey flavor as we added some crushed red peppers to the panko mix. Our potatoes are really big so I too cut them in half before breading and baking. Topped with sour cream
     
  4. Made with just 2 potatoes and it was a great side for dinner tonight! I didn't have the full amount of corn flake crumbs so mixed in some panko crumbs. I boiled the potatoes for 10 minutes and then baked for 1 hour. Will be making these again. Made for Spring PAC 2013.
     
  5. These were excellent!!! I added garlic powder and a bit of celery salt and I left the skins on the potatoes. (I LOVE potato skins....and I HATE peeling potatoes!) :D Anyway, I am mother of 9 children and these potatoes were a hit with everyone!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
