BAKED POTATO POPPERS
These crispy potato puffs unabashedly copy, but far surpass, the commercial brand found in the frozen section of your supermarket. Baked rather than deep-fried, they are perfectly crispy on the outside and meltingly soft on the inside. They will fool even the most die-hard tater tot fiend. You can't stop eating them. Panko bread crumbs are essential to the dish's success, providing the crispiest crunch. Excerpted from "Mad Hungry Cravings" by Lucinda Scala Quinn, Artisan Books, March 2013.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, with a rack in the middle position. Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat. Peel and grate the potatoes, and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with boiling water by two inches. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Squeeze the potatoes to remove excess moisture, and transfer back to the large bowl. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and egg yolk and fold into the potatoes.
- Spread the panko on another rimmed baking sheet. With wet hands, pinch off tablespoons of the potato mixture, form into balls, and coat with the panko crumbs.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Quickly transfer the poppers to the baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake for about 30 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy. Serve with ketchup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Wash the potatoes well. Cut a thin slice off each potato. This will become the bottom and keep the potato from rolling away. Then with the cut side down on the table, slice the potatoes in quarter-inch cuts in a fan shape. DO NOT slice all the way through the potato, only about 3/4 of the way down.
- Thinly slice the butter and add in between the cuts of potato. You can also add a bit of olive oil if you prefer. Add salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes depending on the size of your potato. Be sure to cook until potatoes are tender all the way through
- Serve alongside suggested toppings and enjoy as a tailgate snack or hors d'oeuvre

BAKED POTATO PUFFS
The hardest line cook job I ever had was at the Carnelian Room, where on a busy night I'd prepare over 250 steaks and chops. The biggest challenge was frying French potato puffs to order. Called pommes dauphine, it's one of the finest foods ever invented. To save your kitchen from that deep fryer smell, I wanted to try a baked version. I was very happy with the results. Even though they weren't as dark and crispy as the fried version, the inside was virtually identical. Enjoy these as a warm snack with a dip, or to go alongside some eggs or grilled steak.

- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Set aside.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Very generously brush melted butter into the bottom and sides of 24 mini muffin cups. Place the tin(s) on a baking sheet and set aside until needed.
- Add cold water to a large bowl until 1/3 full. Grate potatoes into the cold water, then fill the bowl almost to the top with more cold water. Swish the potatoes around with your hands to rinse off the starch, then pour off most of the water and refill with more cold water. Continue this process until the water runs almost clear. Pour potatoes into a colander and let drain for a few minutes.
- Transfer grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap potatoes in the towel and squeeze over a bowl until no more liquid comes out.
- Transfer potatoes to a clean bowl and add garlic powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, and olive oil. Sprinkle flour over top, then add Parmigiano-Reggiano. Mix and toss gently with your hands until thoroughly combined and mixture feels damp.
- Grab potato mixture from the bottom of the bowl to get as much moisture as possible, and fill the prepared muffin cups. It's okay if the mixture comes up above the pan by 1/2 to 1 inch.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown on top, caramelized on the bottom, and crispy all over, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping them over onto the baking sheet.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Gently scrub potatoes but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork to allow steam to escape while potatoes bake.
- Bake 1 hour or until tender when pierced with fork. Cool slightly.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out inside of each half into medium bowl, leaving thin potato shell on each. Set shells aside. Mash potatoes with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until no lumps remain. Add cream cheese, butter, 2 tablespoons of the milk, the salt and pepper; stir or beat until smooth and fluffy. If needed, add more milk. Stir in bacon, chopped chile and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture; place on ungreased sheet. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese and arrange a few chile rings on top of each half.
- Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.
