Yellow frosting
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Cocoa Powder (recommended: Hershey's)
Whipped topping (recommended: Cool Whip)
Yellow frosting (recommended: Betty Crocker)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • For the "butter" frosting: Line the inside of a cover of a butter dish with plastic wrap. Fill the cover completely with yellow frosting and freeze until hard. Lift the "butter" out of the cover using the plastic wrap. Cut into squares.;
  • For the potato ice cream: Have a sheet pan covered with plastic wrap. On 1/2 of the pan, place the pint of ice cream down on its side. Fold the plastic over the ice cream and make a seal.
  • Using your hands, quickly form the ice cream into a potato shape. Then, create a wedge across the length of the potato. Tightly twist the ends of the plastic wrap and make knots at each end, like a mozzarella ball.
  • Place the ice cream in the freezer until it hardens, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the ice cream from the freezer, unwrap and dust all over with cocoa powder. Fill the wedge with whipped topping and place a pat of "butter" frosting on top. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve immediately.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large unpeeled Idaho or russet baking potatoes (8 to 10 oz each)
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk

Dash pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

In medium bowl, mash potatoes with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until no lumps remain. Add milk in small amounts, beating after each addition with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes used).

  • Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Bake about 20 minutes or until hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and light when baked.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes bake evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help the potatoes develop a crispy skin.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of the potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: This will help prevent the potatoes from falling apart.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include butter, sour cream, cheese, chili, and bacon.

Conclusion:

Baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. If you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, baked potatoes are a great option.
