Meat-n-Potatoes (ish)

| | Comments (2)

Calling this meat-n-potatoes is a bit of a stretch, since it really was potatoes with a little bit of meat in the stuffing: twice-baked with pancetta, cheddar and onions (I know I'm mixing my regions here, but it's basically cheddar and bacon). I rubbed the potatoes with garlic oil, stabbed them a few times with a fork, then nuked them (they would've been better, undoubtedly, if I had oven baked them, but I didn't have that kind of time). Let them cool for a few minutes, then cut them in half lengthwise and scooped out the middle, leaving 1/4- to 1/2-inch potato shell. Mixed the insides with cheddar, a mixture of sauteed strips of pancetta and diced onion, milk, salt and pepper. Spooned that back into the shells, topped with a little more cheese, then broiled for a couple of minutes to crisp the outside and melt the cheese. The filling encouraged compulsive eating. How much more unhealthy can you get? We tried to assuage the guilt with a mixed-green salad on the side and pineapple slices for dessert.

It seems that Rhubarb is the fruit of choice for this month's SHF - I'm so happy Jarrett picked tarts to surround this delightful ingredient!

And congrats on your first-ever on-your-own pie crust! It looks great!
