Very good. I was looking for a fennel recipe and thought this looked interesting. Super simple and easy. Made no changes or substitutions. Served with recipe #113483 and recipe #237133. I can see myself preparing these again, and trying some of the variations. Had some leftovers which reheated well: microwave until lukewarm and put in toaster oven at 450-500 for approx. 5mins.

Well these are just gems. They are so much better than ordinary baked potatoes with sour cream in my opinion!! If you're baking 'em anyway why not smash 'em!! I did not have fenned seeds but I did use some celery seeds, granulated garlic, carraway seeds and parmesan cheese with the olive oil. Just terrific. Thank you CookingMonster.
