wysecooking podcast demo reel

  This is a quick sizzle reel video of what was my podcast cooking show called "wysecooking".
I had loads of fun doing these podcasts, and I'm very sad it came to an end due to the company going under
:(

  I hope to one day return to podcasting or perhaps break into the T.V. world....

Try my "TRICE" baked potato recipe for your super bowl guests, and they will be dying to come back every year. And it's so easy to do!  It's crispy, creamy, and healthy...yes that's right healthy!

What you need...

 

recipe based on 8 people

 4             Russlet potatoes (1/2 a potato per guest)
 1/2 lbs    Turkey bacon

 4 oz        Fromage blanc (zero fat)

 8 oz        Yogurt ('fage' brand 2 % fat)

 4 oz        Low fat cheddar cheese

 1 bunch   Fresh chives

 2 cups     Kosher salt

 1 tbls      Olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. On a baking sheet lay out kosher salt evenly about 1/2 thick.

3. Wash potatoes well, dry, and then place on salt and bake for an hour.

4. Dice turkey bacon, and crisp up in a cast iron pan, and drain off excess fat.

5 .Once potatoes are cooked, while still warm cut in half length wise, and very carefully scoop the inside of the potato out while leaving a small lip around  the rim.  

7. Using a brush, brush on some olive oil all over each potato half shell, and place back in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until very crispy.

8. Mash the removed potato and mix in 4 oz of yogurt, fromage blanc, and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

9. Once the crispy shells are cooled, pipe or fill the shells with mashed potato, top with a little cheddar cheese, and bake again until cheese has melted.

10. Top with more yogurt, turkey bacon and the minced chives...ENJOY!
