fully loaded goodness


I know I mentioned this before but Nigella really does rock the delicious-but-not-so-good-for you category of food. Years ago J used to make a loaded potato skins recipe and they were delicious, but that recipe has nothing on Nigella's fully loaded potato skins. It even elicited a compliment from my Dad.

These skins are a bit fussy but well worth the effort. After roasting them for an hour you scoop out the delicious potato centre and mix it with sour cream, cheese, spring onions, salt and pepper and they key ingredient Worcestershire sauce. The final element is crumbly bacon. I had to keep getting new spoons as I kept eating the filling each time I filled a potato skin. Delicious...I think I may have used that word at least 4 times in this post.

What I have been enjoying about Nigella Christmas and Simple Chinese Cooking is that these books are not only beautiful and big but they also offer helpful tips to make your cooking experience easier. This is especially important during the holiday season when I depend on food items that are make aheads. A++ I wish I had saved some filling so I could eat it now as I write.
