Although I am loath
to admit it, sometimes making dinner can be a drag. How inconvenient it is to
have at the end of the day. By this time I'm tired and would really rather put my feet up and read (or watch TV, or do absolutely nothing). So, once or twice a
week (or more often if I can get by with it), I make a meal that is really
simple. Last night it was slices of Honey Baked ham, broccoli, and baked
potatoes. To add a bit more interest to this rather boring meal I made this
easy recipe for baked potato topping. It makes a plain potato rather special.
It also makes a nice spread on biscuits, vegetables, or on an English muffin
prior to topping it with slices of avocado or a poached egg. Why not whip up a
batch and put it in your fridge? It keeps for five days, but probably won't
last that long. Tonight I'm going to slather it onto a sliced baguette, and
broil it to serve with another simple meal, spaghetti bolognese.
Baked Potato Topping
½ stick butter,
softened
½ cup sharp cheddar
cheese, grated
¼ cup sour cream
2 scallions, chopped
Salt and freshly
ground pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients
together with a hand mixer until creamy. Serve at room temperature with baked
potatoes.

Why have I never thought of this? You are both an inspiration and the devil Pattie - it looks too good not to make.
ReplyDeleteWe normally eat the with baked beans (in tomato sauce) with bacon bits and cheese but I think this sounds really delicious.
