Freakin awesome. Nuff said. I made a 'i'm broke' variation of these and subbed a can of chili for the ground beef and it came out amazing. -
Not bad - I loved the sweetness the sweetcorn gave it - but just not enough kick to it. And needed a lot of salt and pepper. Little tip for when you're baking the potatoes, though. Set the oven to 190(celsius), brush your potatoes with a little olive oil and then sprinkle with salt. When you bake them (about 1hr 20mins) the skin will crisp up really nicely and give them a lovely salty zing. Just right! -
We loved these potatoes! Thank you.
