Turkish Kumpir is basically a Potato version of Pizza ; you only need a Potato instead of Dough and then it's up to you to decide what to add, tastes amazing !
So the opposite of pizza? Italian pizza is made with very few ingredients, the less possible actually. Or you are comparing with American pizza, but that’s not so good 😂
Boy, I LOVE the idea of a baked potato party! Toppings from around the world and tiny baked potatoes to put them on! It just sounds like so much fun! This was a truly wonderful episode for the potato-philes among us, like me!
I wouldn't say it's used incorrectly. Its just an anglicized word for sauce that we use to mean, ingredients in a spiced sauce. Saying pasta sauce isn't wrong, just because pasta sauces have specific names. Its just less specificity. I think the only time you would describe a dish specifically as a curry, would be a home made nondescript concoction of spices that wasn't aiming for anything specific. I am curious what different indian languages would call a generically spiced saucy dish, as I am sure people make up stuff all the time in their homes.
@@franciscopozoleat least in hindi, i don’t think there is a particular word because almost all vegetable or meat dishes are spiced sauce dishes, so i suppose there’s just never been a need to name it something. it’s kind of like saying “cooked meat” as a category of dish because while yeah, there are raw meat dishes, generally, when you say meat it’s implied that it’s cooked. same way with a very large portion of the main food that’s not carbohydrates across india!
I am guessing the British or Portuguese or whoever just called Indian spicy stews veg & non veg as ‘🍛 curry’ so in the UK they would have a term as curry
something to add about curry (as a British person) Curry is a super catch all word in British culture we might go to a curry house (bit old fashioned most people would say Indian restaurant now ) but we would never expect something to be called Curry except in very specific circumstances, like curry sauce at a chip shop which uses curry powder. If we were at a restaurant you would order the individual names of the dishes, saag paneer, bhuna, korma (in all its different spellings) , dosa, idli etc and there are lots of different types of restaurant, some might be more northern Indian some might be southern or Keralan. India and Indian food is a huge part of British culture and we couldn't be Britain without India!
Also, the reason we call chip shop curry just "curry" is because it's generally Japanese curry (imported from India via Britain), which is one fairly specific, homogenous flavour profile that's just called... well... curry, in Japan. Confused Britons often call it katsu curry (which is curry served with "katsu" - breaded pork/chicken) sauce rather than Japanese curry, because it's honestly baffling that you might go to a restaurant and order [country] + [type of dish] and magically get the right food, like "English soup", or "American sandwich", or "French pie". What would they be?! And if I forgo the country and just order "curry" without a name I could end up with Thai Panang or Malaysian Rendang or Kashmiri Rogan josh or...
Growing up in North Central Florida (where there's a surprising amount of Potato Farms), we used to go to a church that would always do a Wednesday Night Baked potato supper and it was one of my favorite days of the week! It literally was a choose your own adventure of toppings etc and people in the congregation would contribute their own favorite topping as part of the potluck. Sometimes there'd be pulled chicken, Always Bacon (Pork, Turkey, Even Vegetarian and Baco-Bits), Copious amounts of cheese and cheese sauce, Steamed Broccoli (my absolute favorite!!! And my parents were always thrilled with that choice lol), Lots of Olives, Salad Dressings and Sour Cream and Baked Beans (The traditional canned ones/BBQ ones weren't my favorite, so my family started bringing our Red Bean/Kidney Bean recipe instead-which was one of the first recipes I learned how to cook from scratch when I was like 5 or 6). The Potatoes were ALWAYS the star though.
@@nsmellowyellow1 It's not really a family secret! It's basically more of a method rather than a recipe- basically it's just seasoning Kidney Beans with Brown Sugar, Apple Cider Vinegar, but also adding whatever seasonings work well (sometimes I've added soy sauce, a little bit of honey etc)! The key is to make them not too gloopy or soft (and no Tomato sauce!!!)
Random idea for a series: Holiday foods from around the world. Each episode features an appetiser, soup, main, side, and dessert but it’s like, all Passover or all Christmas
@@alexandrahavasi6210 Haha! My great great grandfather on my father's side came over from Sweden and to this day we have to have Oyster Stew and Ostakaka for every holiday.
@@alexandrahavasi6210 I disagree. Pickled herring and potatoes are in most holiday meals (apart from like kräftskiva and such), but otherwise my family and other families I have visited during the holidays in Sweden eat different things for Christmas, Easter and Midsummer. It might be different in different regions though.
OK that Brazilian potato segment needed “I’m too sexy for your mouth” playing in the back ground. Lol. We did a potato party once when we lived in Spain with help yourself toppings. The funny thing is my husband bought the potatoes at our neighborhood market and kept telling the clerk “mas” much to her surprise. Then every time he went into the market they would immediately ask “patatas?!” And he felt obliged to buy some whether he wanted any or not.
Every time I see Polish food, whether it's this stunning creamy radish salad, or pastry, or savory dishes, I think I must be closet Polish because my heart starts to sing.
I’m in Istanbul and have never seen such huge potatoes!! Kumpir is popular and yes, everything goes… corn, peas and carrot salad, beets, ketchup, hotdogs… and it all works!
As a Brit I call them 'Jacket Potatoes'. Also as a Brit I like Baked Beans and a little cheese. My wife's favourite is tuna and sweetcorn with a little cheese. She's Jamaican but Tuna and sweetcorn is a common filling for cheap pre-made sandwiches here in England. My wife bought one once and thought that she didn't like it as a sandwich filling but that it would be a great potato filling (and she was right). And by the way - while Brits might 'go out for a curry' the dishes we eat at the curry house will be korma or dansak or madras or vindaloo (an indian take on a portugese sauce) or jalfrezi or whatever - we think our national dish is chicken tikka masala which was invented by a Pakistani chef in Glasgow (probably).
Here in Japan, people don’t make baked potatoes, so the potatoes sold here are _ALL SMALL_ ! I could never get a potato as big as the ones you used. That first shrimp salad baked potato would be my dinner! So yummy! And of course you favorite topping is wonderful too. Yes, people are wrong about dill! Those cheesy potatoes would be a full dinner too. And an egg. And that coronation potato, again a full dinner! Pickles and olives, Mayo and butter maybe, yes, yes, yes.
Really enjoyed taking part in this. As an Angloindian I feel like Coronation Chicken is kind of my heritage and family in one (yummy!) dish!! Hope you all try making it, and yes, it’s not the same if you leave out the dried fruit!! 😊😊😊
You can also sub chickpeas for chicken for a veggie version (a chain of cafés here in Ireland had this as a sandwich for a while and it was SO delish!)
I was kind of shocked that cheesy beans were not the national jacket potato for England. I've never eaten a coronation chicken potato in my life. Beans are the classic.
In college, some of my friends wanted to do a house warming party for a couple who had just bought their first house. The party organizer pointed to a guy named Joe and said, "Joe, you're in charge of the potato bar." Joe turned to me and was like, "Paul, what the heck is a potato bar? And why am I in charge of it?" We went to a grocery store and bought tons of potatoes and toppings. We baked all the potatoes, and lined up the toppings on a long table like a buffet. It was glorious. I'll never forget that. Especially the pleading tone of "What the heck is a potato bar?" Oh, that was great.
I remember in Istanbul there were baked potato chipotle style shops everywhere. They had soo many toppings toppings. I was so excited I was putting the most random things on there. But it was absolutely delish
Being from a North Indian / Pakistani background I’ve always known what ‘curry’ was - we call it ‘saalan’. It’s just a tomato and onion based gravy that various dishes are cooked in. For example ‘murghi ka saalan’ is a dish my mum used to make all the time and the only translation that makes sense in English is ‘chicken curry’ because it’s chicken in a gravy (saalan). I don’t mind using the word curry in this context because it makes sense. You are right about the English origin of the word but it works when trying to translate it and convey what you mean in a different language.
Love this episode! My girlfriends and I get together once a month for game night and we all bring an ingredient to make a meal or a dish for a themed night. We have done the American baked potato, but I love the idea of getting small potatoes and everyone bringing a different topping/filling so we can try them all. Agreed with needing another baked potato episode!
Great episode! The potato in kumpir is supposed to be very much like a puree with lots of butter and cheese (we use a cheese called kaşar but you can use shredded mozzarella or any other stringy cheese). You can add many toppings to it such as different type of salads, veggies, and sauces. Yours was very modest lol
We kids, at dinner time, used to eat the contents of our baked potatoes and then have the _empty potato jackets_ which we would re-warm till toasty and fill with salt and pepper, sour cream and devour!
So many good ideas! I love dill as well, especially with garlic. Tarragon is my go-to herb for any dish with eggs. That Swedish shrimp topping would be excellent with smoked salmon instead of the shrimp. The four cheese topping needs to sit under the broiler for a minute. I started getting back into potatoes when I was sick from a potassium deficiency. The doctor wanted me to eat bananas, which don't thrill me, but it turns out that baked potatoes have way more potassium than bananas, so that was my key to wellness.
I think I am going to borrow this idea for cooking club at my daughter's school... exposing the girls to foods from around the world that they would not necessarily be able to try! Thanks Beryl for the video!!!!
the German version of the Polish dish, Frühlingsquark with Pellkartoffeln, is my very favorite dish, served in the spring with a dish of hot new potatoes everyone peels at the table, the Quark mixture (we also add some seeded, chopped cucumber), and black bread with butter. For my American family, I usually serve the Quark in a baked potato.
That sounds so good!! Surprisingly I've never heard of it, but will absolutely have to try it next spring. I googled some recipes and they all used Magerquark. I prefer Rahmquark (Sahnequark?) for everything since I like creamier stuff, would that be a huge no no for Frühlingsquark? 😅
So happy to see kumpir, happier to see baked potato versions from so many places. My husband and I have started making kumpir at home, and a hotdog really goes well with it too.
The way I had kumpir served in Istanbul was a bit different. The vendor kept the the hot potatoe whole, cut a piece along the long side, added sme butter and meshed well the inside untill it became creamy. After that he put on the toppings, and it was really good.
I absolutely love the idea of a Baked Potato Party! And this video reminded me of how as a Brazilian I love Quatro Queijos. If you liked the potato , you will absolutely love it on Pizza as well. Another typical Brazilian topping is Chicken Strogonoff. The creaminess is just *chef's kiss* Had a Baked Potato last week and we didn't have too many ingredients on hand but this video was so inspirational and definitely helped me see the art of making creative and delicious potato fillings. Thank you Beryl once again!
Yess!!! Came here just to say that!!! The two most popular and inherently Brazilian toppings for baked potato: stroganoff (Brazilian style) and jerked beef with catupiry aren’t there but we are well represented by four cheeses…
@@warribe Thats so interesting! As someone who lived in the southeast of Brazil, I have never seen Jerked Beef (I’m assuming Carne Seca )and Catupiry as a filling . Is that more of a southern thing ? I love Brazil’s diversity. If Beryl hasn’t tried an empadinha yet we need to get her one now . 🤣
In the UK a common filling is tuna, sweetcorn, spring onion & mayo. We also put some grated cheese under the filling so that the hot potato starts to melt it - delicious! PS: don't forget salt & black pepper!
@@BerylShereshewsky Beryl... as a tamilian I can tell u Kari is the word we have and it literally translates to meat... Kari doesn't mean sauce in tamil. In punjabi they have a word called kadi (not sure if it means sauce) and in malayalam all gravies are called curry since times unknown... so yeah definitely tamils didnt have anything to do with the word "curry" infact we call all gravies either kolambu or thokku
@@rmmr7935 I just looked it up and it seems that Malayalam has it's origins in Middel Tamil and separated after the 9th century. Funny that in 1000 years time languages can become so distant from each other.
@@rmmr7935 Kari in Tamil means "charred/blackened". So any ingredient that's darkened by cooking is called kari. It doesnt necessary have to be meat. (Source: I'm Tamil)
My husband just bought potatoes last night. Saw this video pop up today and told him I’d get some inspiration. Lol My kids love watching your videos with me and trying the various recipes. We make it a rotation into our homeschool routine since there’s a lot to be learned through them. Thank you so much for all you do building such a massive community that spans the world!
I honestly never thought of putting anything else on a baked potato, except the usual butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits…a whole new world has opened!!! 🤯 And since we Catholics are currently in the midst of Lent… so many meatless opportunities!!!😊 I think we need a part two of baked potato toppings episode!!! OMG I was just thinking about egg salad on a baked potato, tuna salad on a baked potato… And I feel like the US with submit a pizza topped baked potato! I mean so many options!❤ I’m actually creating all kinds of topping ideas in my head! 🥹 And Beryl, I really loved your baked potato with the runny egg! 😍
I am down for a baked potato party! A friend of mine had a "mashed potato bar" at her wedding with all different toppings and we still talk about it almost 15 years later!
We usually eat them like you grew up- sour cream, cheese, and/or butter. (boring!!) But sometimes my dad would make "twice baked potatoes" where he'd cut them in half, remove the insides, combine the insides with sour cream, garlic salt, and shredded cheddar cheese, stuff it back into the shells, add more cheese on top, and broil until the cheese was melted nicely. They were our favourite!
At 2:35 when you said that you know a lot of people don't like dill, "..but they're all wrong," that is _precisely_ what I say about people who don't like soft yolks! They're all wrong! If you could please incorporate that sentence into a future video when using a soft-cooked yolk, Beryl, that would be lovely! As usual, this video was super! I loved it and am so curious to try all these dishes. Thank you, Beryl! And yes, see you next week for sure!
OMG! I was so grateful to find this episode. Trying to Jazz up - a traditional "Boring" Easter dinner. I was tasked with a BP bar. What I thought was a really dumb idea... turned into a feast of nations... I did the Swedish Shrimp - SO good, Carination Chicken - Delish . and Kumpir ... I am Turkish and didn't even think of that one. If you have never been told that your video's saved someone, well here you go🤩🥰
Gzik is a beloved dish of my husband’s. His grandmother always made it for him. He was so excited to see it in a video and a new application of putting it in a potato.
I do love a well-stuffed jacket potato, but… my favourite isn’t stuffed at all. If you love garlic, grow Ramsons/Wild Garlic. Make wild garlic butter from it, & just slather the potato. If you love garlic, ramsons are on a.whole.other.level. Downside, if you grow it yourself you will be permanently hungry from the delicious smell wafting in from your garden. I recommend you freeze plenty of slices of the butter so you can still eat it when the ramsons are out of season. Saying that, I’ve still run out & it is agonising waiting for the day where the ramsons can be harvested. Truly addictive. (Shropshire, England)
Okay, I’m an Aussie (Tasmanian to be specific). I grew up with Keens Curry Powder. My mum would make ‘curry’. Basically it was made like a white onion sauce/bechamel sauce. Melt butter, sauté onions, add curry powder, fry until aromatic, add flour, cook for 2 mins, add milk, stir until thickened. Add in rotisserie chicken. Or sometimes seafood (we called it seafood extender, but could be imitation crab lol). I still make it now for my kids. It was the only exposure I ever had to spices until I was in my 20’s. It is so popular that many of our takeaway shops will sell chicken curry & rice, and our school canteen/tuck shop sells it too. Also it’s a topping they offer at our local jacket potato shop ‘House of Spuds’!
I love and have to point out how much the Polish potato has in common with the Persian noon o paneer o sabzi! "Sabzi" just means vegetables or herbs, but the most commonly served ones with this dish are radishes, dill, chives, and parlsey. Paneer, as in Indian food, is cheese (paneer Irani is a pickled feta type) but it's really about the creamy dairy element, so sour cream is a close cousin in flavour and purpose. Noon is bread (naan) but it's like a great choose-your-carb game: I would absolutely have a varient of paneer o sabzi with potatos! Please try this flavour combination with any carb of your choice, friends, and have a great and delicious time!
Hello from Romania . Take the turkish variant of add-ons , add some hard boiled eggs cut in quarters and some finelly minced onion , put over boiled and cubed potatoes and tadaa - Oriental Salad. As you say , the pickly vinegarry bite is awsome ! And - added bonus - if one is keeping Lent you can still eat it , just hold the eggs. The onion can be yellow , red or green in the spring , you can add it raw or also pickled...Edit: I go boil the potatoes like NOW...
Beryl, you were clearly having so much fun making this video and it made it even more enjoyable to watch than usual. Thanks for openly having so much fun with your food!
Re: your party idea, I once went to a wedding reception where they had a mashed potato bar with lots of toppings that I would normally associate with baked potatoes, and it was a HUGE hit. In their case, the mashed potatoes were already portioned out in martini glasses, and then you went down the buffet line of toppings, spooning them on. But it’s another of those things where you can make one giant batch of mashed potatoes rather than fuss with a ton of little ones, and then everyone can try these toppings in small or large amounts as they see fit
I haven't visited your channel in a little while and I had forgotten how delightful and genuine you are. You just make me smile with our joy. Thank you for being on TH-cam.
In Russia we have fast food Kroshka kartoshka (baby potato) with baked potatoes and tons of different filing. You can have plain potato with toppings or potato mixed with butter, greens, cheese and toppings. Chicken salad, shrimp salad, crab salad, spicy crab, 4 cheeses, ham and cheese, mushrooms, grilled chicken or beef, meat salad, pickles and I don't even remember what else 😆
I’ve been very sick for five days. I came across your channel yesterday and I’ve been binging it ever since. Since I can’t eat I’ve been living vicariously through your videos. I said this on a comment on another video. That gas hot plate seems like an accident waiting to happen. An induction unit would be so much safer.
Thanks for continuing to do this series Beryl, I’ve been away from it for a bit, just getting back this morning. Such a wonderful, light and personal way to bring people together. I love the format….and just so many ideas to try in exploring food.
Beryl. Greetings from Texas. My mother ate baked potatoes often. But she came up with a way to make a baked potato in around six or seven minutes. She'd first wash her potato. Poke some holes in it to avoid it exploding. Then wrap it in a fresh paper towel and put it in the microwave on High for five minutes. After five minutes the potato was fork tender. But she went the extra yard and would wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for a minute or two to allow it to take on that classic oven baked potato taste. Surprisingly enough. That one or two minutes in the aluminum foil. Really does make a difference in the taste. More like a baked potato from a conventional oven than one from a microwave.
I have to try that Brazilian potato! It literally had my mouth watering! By the way, I really appreciate how much education and culture is in your videos! As someone who loves to learn and to share knowledge, I make it a point to share your videos with the kids in my family and they all love you! Keep up the great work!
Baked sweet potato with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream? These all look scrumptious. Thanks Beryl and all contributing their stories and foodways. One of the best channels. Much love. 🥰
As a kid growing up in northern new mexico, I used to put butter, ranch style beans (original or the jalepeno version), top with cheddar cheese, a little ranch dressing and sour cream. I haven't had it since I was a kid, but now I need to go home and make one lol. As an adult living in texas, we do bbq baked potatoes. butter, brisket, bbq sauce, cheese, sour cream and chives. so delicious!
I just get so so so proud when you like a Brazilian dish. And catupiry just goes well on everything. Try it on toast or any pate or burger or hot dogs…
Ooo Beryl so sorry but you weren't supposed to empty potatoes from skin for kumpir. Just open the potato and add generous amount of butter and mash it till it's silky smooth. Than add the toppings. My fave toppings are russian salad and kısır which is a bulghur salad. Mmmm yummy 😋😋 It's 11 pm here in İstanbul and I started to crave for kumpir 😅
My family used to have a potato pot luck supper. My mom would buy and bake small Yukon gold potatoes and guests would bring their own toppings. In addition to the "normal" toppings - cheese, butter, chives, bacon, sour cream, etc...we had fish (smoked salmon, clams, lobster), roasted red peppers, caramelized onion, broccoli, cauliflower and meat toppings like ground Italian sausage or lamb chunks. My favorite combo is potato with a slice of gefilte fish, honey glazed carrot and a dollop of sour cream on top!
Will organize a party like that 100%! A fun topping among the cold ones to try is a recipe from my favorite baked potato fast food chain in Russia, where I’m from. You would bake the potato, scoop out all the potato, mix it with butter and dill, and top it with a pickle salad: mixed pickled mushrooms, dill pickles (the cucumbers or the tomatoes or both) and onions mixed with a little oil. Or just cut-up hot dogs mixed with mustard, really simple and good.
Oooh I love potato, butter, dill, mushrooms and pickles in general so sounds like right up my alley! I might try a pickle salad with a smetana base... here in Finland we eat mushroom salad, which consists of pickled mushrooms, chopped onion, pepper, salt if needed (the mushrooms are salted) and either smetana, cream, or a mix. I also add heaps of fresh dill. Some pickled cucumbers mixed into that, and eaten with butter dill potato, must be amazing!
Living in Scotland I have a hard time to not burst out in uncontrollable laughter every time someone says dhal curry!!!! Jesus, it is so hilarious and quite adorable watching the Brits swoon over the tandoori, the Korma and the everything is curry world of Indian cuisine. Jacket potatoes on the other hand I took to since moving here about 2years ago. I love baked potatoes with some chilli con carne, guacamole and a generous drizzle of sour cream.
I just discovered this channel and have binge watched for the entire weekend! For baked potato (or toast), I sometimes heat Heinz Baked beans and add smoked paprika, ground cumin and ground coriander. Put the beans in potato or toast and then top with shredded cheese like mozarella or white cheddar. Yum!
Instead of sprinkling the Quatro Queijos potato with shoestring crisps, you can also sprinkle it with crunchy bacon bits. Trust me, this tastes incredible!
Beryl, I was touched by your comments about the non-stressful baked potato party. I used to do something very much like that. Just in case you don't know about this, if you ever have a baked potato party and want a no-stress way to cook your potatoes ahead of time and keep them warm for hours, use a regular crockpot. Just wrap them as usual and lay them in there. You can start them the night before. They stay nice and warm for a day without getting dried out. Great video.
Last year for my birthday party I did a baked potato bar and was so fun and pretty easy! Some of the potatoes were sweet potatoes too, which could be eaten sweet or savory. Toppings included cheese and sour cream, green onions, bacon, black beans, tahini, butter, and brown sugar
Speaking of baked potato parties - When I was in university we had a baked potato potluck where I made all the potatoes and people all brought different toppings. The options we had at the time were definitely far more basic (sour cream, bacon, chili, cheese sauce...). This absolutely makes me want to do this again with more topping variety.
My favorite! Twice baked. Scrub and dry potatoes hub in olive oil and coarse salt( a must) Pierce the skins a few times and wrap in foil and bake in hot oven. Take out and open foil, use towel or kitchen gloves and cut in half and scoop out insides leaving a bit of a shell. Mix the potato insides mashed with butter, sour cream, ground ham, cheddar cheese and black pepper, stuff back in skin and dip the top in grated parmigiana. Place in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and bake at 375 degrees until browned on top. You can also drizzle with a bit of truffle oil and green onion or chives to serve. Yummy!
YESSSS I've been waiting for this one! I meant to send mine in but I never did. A classic baked potato topping in the north-east of England is cheese savoury. it's grated cheese (usually cheddar but you can use red leicester too), grated carrot and finely diced or grated white onion, mixed with mayonnaise or (not my preference) salad cream. It's a classic sandwich filling too. Lush but it makes you stink of onion so one for working from home days.
Growing-up, I ate it this way ground beef in brown gravy and mushrooms canned dtained & added to this mixture. Put on a baked potato with sour cream on top...🥰!! Cheddar Cheese can be added before the sour cream is added.
❤❤❤OMG BERYL I FREAKING LOVE YOU!!❤❤❤ I have been craving baked potatoes but wanted more topping ideas, girl you read my mind and gave me what I desperately wanted from you with out me saying a word😂. 😘 Perfection, this makes me so Happy 😁.
As a swede the type of Shrimp we use here in sweden (Pandalus borealis) is a different kind that is smaller, and significatly sweeter in taste, and all around have more taste, You peel the shrimp and leave them whole. And since they are small its no problem. I wouldnt say that the roe is just if you feel fancy as the swede in the video said. I think every single skagenröra Ive ever eaten have had roe in it. Ones bought premade from the shop, ones made in house at restaurants, homemade ones from scratch, all have had some type of roe in them. Cheap ones have cheap roe in it, fancy ones have really nice roe. Skagenröra is commonly eaten in sweden and i grew up with parents that liked skagenröra, so i probably eaten it around onve per week my whole life. However garnashing with extra dollop of roe or a few extra shrimps on top would be a thing you might see if people want it to be a bit fancy and special. And in sweden you wouldnt use sourcreame but Crème fraiche. You see many recipes do half Crème fraiche and half mayo. But you see some that just use mayo. Other common additions in modern swedish recipes might also have chives or finely diced red onion, horseradish, a tiny bit of congac.
If you enjoy a crispy - skin baked potato, soak scrubbed whole russet potatoes in salted water to cover. I use a teaspoon or two for enough water to cover 4 baking potatoes. Soak for about an hour. Drain, pat dry with a kitchen towel. Stab each potato 2-4 times with a fork. Put potatoes on a baking tray and bake at 425F until soft when gently squeezed. Don't wrap in foil, don't cover and don't bake at a lower temperature. Yum!
Beryl ~ another great video! I teach cooking to seniors once a month and doing a baby baked potato class with various toppings is such a delicious idea. Thank you. It's fun being inspired by others like you.
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this video 🥺 I hope people try the skagenröra, it's the best!
I’m definitely going to try it, you should try my coronation chicken recipe!!
Det är ju jättegott!!!
It looked delicious! I can't wait to try it.
It looked amazing! Can't wait to try it out 😋 🍤
We are going to have it for dinner this weekend!
As an Indian, I am glad you clarified the 'curry' part
I thought the English called it curry because they didn’t know what to say to this new dish so they invented the word curry because that’s what it was made in and they couldn’t say karai (wok). Probably that up but it could be possibility 😅😅
Curry is from Tamizh Kari
“as an indian”lmao golden comment bootlicker
Get some better work
England adopted the curry as a national dish back when we owned India. British curry is like American Pizza or Burgers.
Every single time Beryl is making a dish I always think it's the person who is sharing the recipe. And then my brain sees her little wooden spoon and I realize for the 20th time that it's Beryl making it. 😊
Turkish Kumpir is basically a Potato version of Pizza ; you only need a Potato instead of Dough and then it's up to you to decide what to add, tastes amazing !

I knew "curry" was generally used incorrectly, but I hadn't realized that it just doesn't exist as a specific food in India. Thanks for educating us!

I am curious what different indian languages would call a generically spiced saucy dish, as I am sure people make up stuff all the time in their homes.
Curry is just the English version of the Tamil word for sauce that uses curry leaves. It's more of a catch-all now, but not really that incorrect.

India and Indian food is a huge part of British culture and we couldn't be Britain without India!
Kerala is in south India
That's a beautiful tribute to both countries.
Indian food to Britian is like Mexican food to America so I understand the sentiment
Also, the reason we call chip shop curry just "curry" is because it's generally Japanese curry (imported from India via Britain), which is one fairly specific, homogenous flavour profile that's just called... well... curry, in Japan.
Confused Britons often call it katsu curry (which is curry served with "katsu" - breaded pork/chicken) sauce rather than Japanese curry, because it's honestly baffling that you might go to a restaurant and order [country] + [type of dish] and magically get the right food, like "English soup", or "American sandwich", or "French pie". What would they be?! And if I forgo the country and just order "curry" without a name I could end up with Thai Panang or Malaysian Rendang or Kashmiri Rogan josh or...
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 I'm British Mexican and that's so true, you just blew my mind!
Growing up in North Central Florida (where there's a surprising amount of Potato Farms), we used to go to a church that would always do a Wednesday Night Baked potato supper and it was one of my favorite days of the week! It literally was a choose your own adventure of toppings etc and people in the congregation would contribute their own favorite topping as part of the potluck. Sometimes there'd be pulled chicken, Always Bacon (Pork, Turkey, Even Vegetarian and Baco-Bits), Copious amounts of cheese and cheese sauce, Steamed Broccoli (my absolute favorite!!! And my parents were always thrilled with that choice lol), Lots of Olives, Salad Dressings and Sour Cream and Baked Beans (The traditional canned ones/BBQ ones weren't my favorite, so my family started bringing our Red Bean/Kidney Bean recipe instead-which was one of the first recipes I learned how to cook from scratch when I was like 5 or 6). The Potatoes were ALWAYS the star though.
That's sounds delicious and like a lot of fun! What wonderful childhood memories ❤️
That's such a cool and fun idea
What a wonderful memory! Care to share your kidney bean recipe or is it a family secret? 😊
@@nsmellowyellow1 It's not really a family secret! It's basically more of a method rather than a recipe- basically it's just seasoning Kidney Beans with Brown Sugar, Apple Cider Vinegar, but also adding whatever seasonings work well (sometimes I've added soy sauce, a little bit of honey etc)! The key is to make them not too gloopy or soft (and no Tomato sauce!!!)
We would do something similar in the Midwest but there would always be chili.
I'm so proud about this episode, because I was born in Poznań/Poland! I'm glad you enjoyed Pyry z gzikiem ❤
Looks 🔥 (amazing)
@@russhay422 tastes amazing as well!
Ja jestem z Wegier, ale mieszkam w Poznaniu!
Mam nadzieję, że Ci u Nas dobrze!:)
It looks so delicious!
Random idea for a series: Holiday foods from around the world. Each episode features an appetiser, soup, main, side, and dessert but it’s like, all Passover or all Christmas
Us Swedes would only need one episode for all of our holidays. 😂
@@alexandrahavasi6210 Haha! My great great grandfather on my father's side came over from Sweden and to this day we have to have Oyster Stew and Ostakaka for every holiday.
@@alexandrahavasi6210 I disagree. Pickled herring and potatoes are in most holiday meals (apart from like kräftskiva and such), but otherwise my family and other families I have visited during the holidays in Sweden eat different things for Christmas, Easter and Midsummer. It might be different in different regions though.
This is a fantastic idea! Very creative!
If she do swedish christmas she need to start in oktober 😂
OK that Brazilian potato segment needed “I’m too sexy for your mouth” playing in the back ground. Lol. We did a potato party once when we lived in Spain with help yourself toppings. The funny thing is my husband bought the potatoes at our neighborhood market and kept telling the clerk “mas” much to her surprise. Then every time he went into the market they would immediately ask “patatas?!” And he felt obliged to buy some whether he wanted any or not.
Every time I see Polish food, whether it's this stunning creamy radish salad, or pastry, or savory dishes, I think I must be closet Polish because my heart starts to sing.
I love Polish food
You need to do another baked potatoes episode....
LOVED IT ❤
I’m in Istanbul and have never seen such huge potatoes!! Kumpir is popular and yes, everything goes… corn, peas and carrot salad, beets, ketchup, hotdogs… and it all works!
As a Brit I call them 'Jacket Potatoes'. Also as a Brit I like Baked Beans and a little cheese. My wife's favourite is tuna and sweetcorn with a little cheese. She's Jamaican but Tuna and sweetcorn is a common filling for cheap pre-made sandwiches here in England. My wife bought one once and thought that she didn't like it as a sandwich filling but that it would be a great potato filling (and she was right). And by the way - while Brits might 'go out for a curry' the dishes we eat at the curry house will be korma or dansak or madras or vindaloo (an indian take on a portugese sauce) or jalfrezi or whatever - we think our national dish is chicken tikka masala which was invented by a Pakistani chef in Glasgow (probably).
Here in Japan, people don’t make baked potatoes, so the potatoes sold here are _ALL SMALL_ !
I could never get a potato as big as the ones you used.
That first shrimp salad baked potato would be my dinner! So yummy!
And of course you favorite topping is wonderful too.
Yes, people are wrong about dill!
Those cheesy potatoes would be a full dinner too. And an egg.
And that coronation potato, again a full dinner!
Pickles and olives, Mayo and butter maybe, yes, yes, yes.
Really enjoyed taking part in this. As an Angloindian I feel like Coronation Chicken is kind of my heritage and family in one (yummy!) dish!! Hope you all try making it, and yes, it’s not the same if you leave out the dried fruit!! 😊😊😊
It looked delicious! I will be making this one
You can also sub chickpeas for chicken for a veggie version (a chain of cafés here in Ireland had this as a sandwich for a while and it was SO delish!)
My mum used to make coronation chicken for every buffet ❤
Watching this was torture! I want them all! And Bartek, if you watch this video, your plants are beautiful!
Mmm loaded baked potato
Me and my youngest daughter watch you all the time and I have to say she gave you an amazing compliment. She wants to go earing shopping with you.
An under stuffed baked potato is just as disappointing as a bath water that is not hot enough.😂
No truer words then that
@@sfhc666 Thanks
Nobody likes a cold bath :(
Same as a baked potato without enough butter on it. A travesty, really.
I know it boring but there is something so cozy and warming about a well baked potato with butter, cheese and baked beans 😊
Cheesy beano!
minus beans!
Not boring at all. It’s quintessential British fare and I’m defo here for it (I’m French and we don’t really eat baked potatoes).
I was kind of shocked that cheesy beans were not the national jacket potato for England. I've never eaten a coronation chicken potato in my life. Beans are the classic.
@@DraggonnyI was thinking the same. Coronation chicken sandwiches I've seen but not potato. Beans and cheese for the win!
In college, some of my friends wanted to do a house warming party for a couple who had just bought their first house. The party organizer pointed to a guy named Joe and said, "Joe, you're in charge of the potato bar." Joe turned to me and was like, "Paul, what the heck is a potato bar? And why am I in charge of it?" We went to a grocery store and bought tons of potatoes and toppings. We baked all the potatoes, and lined up the toppings on a long table like a buffet. It was glorious. I'll never forget that. Especially the pleading tone of "What the heck is a potato bar?" Oh, that was great.
I remember in Istanbul there were baked potato chipotle style shops everywhere. They had soo many toppings toppings. I was so excited I was putting the most random things on there. But it was absolutely delish
The Turkish potato is like the baked version of my summer potato salad....how very fun! 😊
Being from a North Indian / Pakistani background I’ve always known what ‘curry’ was - we call it ‘saalan’. It’s just a tomato and onion based gravy that various dishes are cooked in. For example ‘murghi ka saalan’ is a dish my mum used to make all the time and the only translation that makes sense in English is ‘chicken curry’ because it’s chicken in a gravy (saalan). I don’t mind using the word curry in this context because it makes sense. You are right about the English origin of the word but it works when trying to translate it and convey what you mean in a different language.
😢But curry is a genre of dishes rather than a single one.
@@vikramaditya6812 if by ‘genre’ you mean there’s a range of dishes that can be classified as a curry, then yes, I agree with you.
Love this episode! My girlfriends and I get together once a month for game night and we all bring an ingredient to make a meal or a dish for a themed night. We have done the American baked potato, but I love the idea of getting small potatoes and everyone bringing a different topping/filling so we can try them all. Agreed with needing another baked potato episode!
Thank you for sharing the "curry" info, very interesting! I learn so much from your videos!! History, food and culture!!
Great episode! The potato in kumpir is supposed to be very much like a puree with lots of butter and cheese (we use a cheese called kaşar but you can use shredded mozzarella or any other stringy cheese). You can add many toppings to it such as different type of salads, veggies, and sauces. Yours was very modest lol
"I know people don't like dill, but they're wrong." LOLOLOLOL! Love it
We kids, at dinner time, used to eat the contents of our baked potatoes and then have the _empty potato jackets_ which we would re-warm till toasty and fill with salt and pepper, sour cream and devour!
So many good ideas!
I love dill as well, especially with garlic. Tarragon is my go-to herb for any dish with eggs. That Swedish shrimp topping would be excellent with smoked salmon instead of the shrimp. The four cheese topping needs to sit under the broiler for a minute.
I started getting back into potatoes when I was sick from a potassium deficiency. The doctor wanted me to eat bananas, which don't thrill me, but it turns out that baked potatoes have way more potassium than bananas, so that was my key to wellness.
The "smoked salmon version" is very common here in Finland :)
I think I am going to borrow this idea for cooking club at my daughter's school... exposing the girls to foods from around the world that they would not necessarily be able to try! Thanks Beryl for the video!!!!
Yessss that’s such a great idea
the German version of the Polish dish, Frühlingsquark with Pellkartoffeln, is my very favorite dish, served in the spring with a dish of hot new potatoes everyone peels at the table, the Quark mixture (we also add some seeded, chopped cucumber), and black bread with butter. For my American family, I usually serve the Quark in a baked potato.
That sounds so good!! Surprisingly I've never heard of it, but will absolutely have to try it next spring. I googled some recipes and they all used Magerquark. I prefer Rahmquark (Sahnequark?) for everything since I like creamier stuff, would that be a huge no no for Frühlingsquark? 😅
@@anna8282 I prefer Sahnequark as well, and luckily as that is all I can get here stateside.
So happy to see kumpir, happier to see baked potato versions from so many places. My husband and I have started making kumpir at home, and a hotdog really goes well with it too.
Bartek’s plant game in the background, superb! 🌿🌱
Haha thanks!🌱🪴
The way I had kumpir served in Istanbul was a bit different. The vendor kept the the hot potatoe whole, cut a piece along the long side, added sme butter and meshed well the inside untill it became creamy. After that he put on the toppings, and it was really good.
I absolutely love the idea of a Baked Potato Party!
And this video reminded me of how as a Brazilian I love Quatro Queijos.
If you liked the potato , you will absolutely love it on Pizza as well.
Another typical Brazilian topping is Chicken Strogonoff. The creaminess is just *chef's kiss*
Had a Baked Potato last week and we didn't have too many ingredients on hand but this video was so inspirational and definitely helped me see the art of making creative and delicious potato fillings.
Thank you Beryl once again!
Yess!!! Came here just to say that!!! The two most popular and inherently Brazilian toppings for baked potato: stroganoff (Brazilian style) and jerked beef with catupiry aren’t there but we are well represented by four cheeses…
@@warribe Thats so interesting! As someone who lived in the southeast of Brazil, I have never seen Jerked Beef (I’m assuming Carne Seca )and Catupiry as a filling . Is that more of a southern thing ? I love Brazil’s diversity.
If Beryl hasn’t tried an empadinha yet we need to get her one now . 🤣
In the UK a common filling is tuna, sweetcorn, spring onion & mayo. We also put some grated cheese under the filling so that the hot potato starts to melt it - delicious! PS: don't forget salt & black pepper!
Agreed. I was going to comment the same. Tuna, sweet corn and Mayo is the best on a hot jacky taty 😊
I do this too but add juice from gherkin and chopped gherkins... I'm from🏴🏴🏴
Omg those Turkish ones sound so good! I love pickles and olives and cheese. I would definitely add sweetcorn. Maybe some tabasco.
I love to see an episode about a normal weekday dinner from different countries!
Beryl showing her geekdom with various Star Trek, Star Wars, and Dr Who stuff? I approve!
Love that my people are here with me 🥰😍
@@BerylShereshewsky Beryl... as a tamilian I can tell u Kari is the word we have and it literally translates to meat... Kari doesn't mean sauce in tamil. In punjabi they have a word called kadi (not sure if it means sauce) and in malayalam all gravies are called curry since times unknown... so yeah definitely tamils didnt have anything to do with the word "curry" infact we call all gravies either kolambu or thokku
@@rmmr7935 I just looked it up and it seems that Malayalam has it's origins in Middel Tamil and separated after the 9th century. Funny that in 1000 years time languages can become so distant from each other.
@@rmmr7935 Kari in Tamil means "charred/blackened". So any ingredient that's darkened by cooking is called kari. It doesnt necessary have to be meat. (Source: I'm Tamil)
Heck yeah!
My husband just bought potatoes last night. Saw this video pop up today and told him I’d get some inspiration. Lol My kids love watching your videos with me and trying the various recipes. We make it a rotation into our homeschool routine since there’s a lot to be learned through them. Thank you so much for all you do building such a massive community that spans the world!
I honestly never thought of putting anything else on a baked potato, except the usual butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits…a whole new world has opened!!! 🤯 And since we Catholics are currently in the midst of Lent… so many meatless opportunities!!!😊
I think we need a part two of baked potato toppings episode!!!
OMG I was just thinking about egg salad on a baked potato, tuna salad on a baked potato… And I feel like the US with submit a pizza topped baked potato! I mean so many options!❤
I’m actually creating all kinds of topping ideas in my head! 🥹
And Beryl, I really loved your baked potato with the runny egg! 😍
I am down for a baked potato party! A friend of mine had a "mashed potato bar" at her wedding with all different toppings and we still talk about it almost 15 years later!
We usually eat them like you grew up- sour cream, cheese, and/or butter. (boring!!)
But sometimes my dad would make "twice baked potatoes" where he'd cut them in half, remove the insides, combine the insides with sour cream, garlic salt, and shredded cheddar cheese, stuff it back into the shells, add more cheese on top, and broil until the cheese was melted nicely. They were our favourite!
Twice baked is the only way.
At 2:35 when you said that you know a lot of people don't like dill, "..but they're all wrong," that is _precisely_ what I say about people who don't like soft yolks! They're all wrong! If you could please incorporate that sentence into a future video when using a soft-cooked yolk, Beryl, that would be lovely!
As usual, this video was super! I loved it and am so curious to try all these dishes. Thank you, Beryl! And yes, see you next week for sure!
OMG! I was so grateful to find this episode. Trying to Jazz up - a traditional "Boring" Easter dinner. I was tasked with a BP bar. What I thought was a really dumb idea... turned into a feast of nations... I did the Swedish Shrimp - SO good, Carination Chicken - Delish . and Kumpir ... I am Turkish and didn't even think of that one. If you have never been told that your video's saved someone, well here you go🤩🥰
Gzik is a beloved dish of my husband’s. His grandmother always made it for him. He was so excited to see it in a video and a new application of putting it in a potato.
I do love a well-stuffed jacket potato, but… my favourite isn’t stuffed at all.
If you love garlic, grow Ramsons/Wild Garlic. Make wild garlic butter from it, & just slather the potato. If you love garlic, ramsons are on a.whole.other.level.
Downside, if you grow it yourself you will be permanently hungry from the delicious smell wafting in from your garden.
I recommend you freeze plenty of slices of the butter so you can still eat it when the ramsons are out of season. Saying that, I’ve still run out & it is agonising waiting for the day where the ramsons can be harvested. Truly addictive.

Okay, I’m an Aussie (Tasmanian to be specific). I grew up with Keens Curry Powder. My mum would make ‘curry’. Basically it was made like a white onion sauce/bechamel sauce. Melt butter, sauté onions, add curry powder, fry until aromatic, add flour, cook for 2 mins, add milk, stir until thickened. Add in rotisserie chicken. Or sometimes seafood (we called it seafood extender, but could be imitation crab lol). I still make it now for my kids. It was the only exposure I ever had to spices until I was in my 20’s. It is so popular that many of our takeaway shops will sell chicken curry & rice, and our school canteen/tuck shop sells it too. Also it’s a topping they offer at our local jacket potato shop ‘House of Spuds’!
Kumpir is definitely one of my favorite Turkish food ❤️❤️❤️ i will definitely miss it when i go back to my home country 😢😢
I love and have to point out how much the Polish potato has in common with the Persian noon o paneer o sabzi! "Sabzi" just means vegetables or herbs, but the most commonly served ones with this dish are radishes, dill, chives, and parlsey. Paneer, as in Indian food, is cheese (paneer Irani is a pickled feta type) but it's really about the creamy dairy element, so sour cream is a close cousin in flavour and purpose. Noon is bread (naan) but it's like a great choose-your-carb game: I would absolutely have a varient of paneer o sabzi with potatos! Please try this flavour combination with any carb of your choice, friends, and have a great and delicious time!
Hello from Romania . Take the turkish variant of add-ons , add some hard boiled eggs cut in quarters and some finelly minced onion , put over boiled and cubed potatoes and tadaa - Oriental Salad. As you say , the pickly vinegarry bite is awsome ! And - added bonus - if one is keeping Lent you can still eat it , just hold the eggs. The onion can be yellow , red or green in the spring , you can add it raw or also pickled...Edit: I go boil the potatoes like NOW...
I do a baked potato bar regularly for my family. They all love to pick their own toppings, I think making all the different ones is a fantastic idea!
Beryl, you are a joy, thank you 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️
Beryl, you were clearly having so much fun making this video and it made it even more enjoyable to watch than usual. Thanks for openly having so much fun with your food!
Re: your party idea, I once went to a wedding reception where they had a mashed potato bar with lots of toppings that I would normally associate with baked potatoes, and it was a HUGE hit. In their case, the mashed potatoes were already portioned out in martini glasses, and then you went down the buffet line of toppings, spooning them on. But it’s another of those things where you can make one giant batch of mashed potatoes rather than fuss with a ton of little ones, and then everyone can try these toppings in small or large amounts as they see fit
The kumpir recipe reminded me of an American style potato salad. Mayo, olives, pickles, onions and garlic are all in my cook out potato salad.
I haven't visited your channel in a little while and I had forgotten how delightful and genuine you are. You just make me smile with our joy. Thank you for being on TH-cam.
In Russia we have fast food Kroshka kartoshka (baby potato) with baked potatoes and tons of different filing. You can have plain potato with toppings or potato mixed with butter, greens, cheese and toppings. Chicken salad, shrimp salad, crab salad, spicy crab, 4 cheeses, ham and cheese, mushrooms, grilled chicken or beef, meat salad, pickles and I don't even remember what else 😆
I’ve been very sick for five days. I came across your channel yesterday and I’ve been binging it ever since. Since I can’t eat I’ve been living vicariously through your videos. I said this on a comment on another video. That gas hot plate seems like an accident waiting to happen. An induction unit would be so much safer.
The swedish one really should have had sourcream and onion also it makes SUCH a difference ❤️
Thanks for continuing to do this series Beryl, I’ve been away from it for a bit, just getting back this morning. Such a wonderful, light and personal way to bring people together. I love the format….and just so many ideas to try in exploring food.
Beryl. Greetings from Texas. My mother ate baked potatoes often. But she came up with a way to make a baked potato in around six or seven minutes. She'd first wash her potato. Poke some holes in it to avoid it exploding. Then wrap it in a fresh paper towel and put it in the microwave on High for five minutes. After five minutes the potato was fork tender. But she went the extra yard and would wrap it in aluminum foil and let it rest for a minute or two to allow it to take on that classic oven baked potato taste. Surprisingly enough. That one or two minutes in the aluminum foil. Really does make a difference in the taste. More like a baked potato from a conventional oven than one from a microwave.
I have to try that Brazilian potato! It literally had my mouth watering! By the way, I really appreciate how much education and culture is in your videos! As someone who loves to learn and to share knowledge, I make it a point to share your videos with the kids in my family and they all love you! Keep up the great work!
Baked sweet potato with a scoop of butter pecan ice cream? These all look scrumptious. Thanks Beryl and all contributing their stories and foodways. One of the best channels. Much love. 🥰
I needed so much some happyness! Thanks
Right? Beryl is a gentle, friendly light in the darkness. What a lovely woman.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
As a kid growing up in northern new mexico, I used to put butter, ranch style beans (original or the jalepeno version), top with cheddar cheese, a little ranch dressing and sour cream. I haven't had it since I was a kid, but now I need to go home and make one lol. As an adult living in texas, we do bbq baked potatoes. butter, brisket, bbq sauce, cheese, sour cream and chives. so delicious!
All of these sound great. I've had the Turkish potato, yummy. I'll be trying the rest of them for sure.
I just get so so so proud when you like a Brazilian dish.
And catupiry just goes well on everything. Try it on toast or any pate or burger or hot dogs…
Ooo Beryl so sorry but you weren't supposed to empty potatoes from skin for kumpir. Just open the potato and add generous amount of butter and mash it till it's silky smooth. Than add the toppings. My fave toppings are russian salad and kısır which is a bulghur salad. Mmmm yummy 😋😋 It's 11 pm here in İstanbul and I started to crave for kumpir 😅
My family used to have a potato pot luck supper. My mom would buy and bake small Yukon gold potatoes and guests would bring their own toppings. In addition to the "normal" toppings - cheese, butter, chives, bacon, sour cream, etc...we had fish (smoked salmon, clams, lobster), roasted red peppers, caramelized onion, broccoli, cauliflower and meat toppings like ground Italian sausage or lamb chunks. My favorite combo is potato with a slice of gefilte fish, honey glazed carrot and a dollop of sour cream on top!
Will organize a party like that 100%!
A fun topping among the cold ones to try is a recipe from my favorite baked potato fast food chain in Russia, where I’m from.
You would bake the potato, scoop out all the potato, mix it with butter and dill, and top it with a pickle salad: mixed pickled mushrooms, dill pickles (the cucumbers or the tomatoes or both) and onions mixed with a little oil.
Or just cut-up hot dogs mixed with mustard, really simple and good.
Oooh I love potato, butter, dill, mushrooms and pickles in general so sounds like right up my alley! I might try a pickle salad with a smetana base... here in Finland we eat mushroom salad, which consists of pickled mushrooms, chopped onion, pepper, salt if needed (the mushrooms are salted) and either smetana, cream, or a mix. I also add heaps of fresh dill. Some pickled cucumbers mixed into that, and eaten with butter dill potato, must be amazing!
Love that you started with your own recipe! And like every single excellent recipe, it includes a fried egg❤️
Living in Scotland I have a hard time to not burst out in uncontrollable laughter every time someone says dhal curry!!!! Jesus, it is so hilarious and quite adorable watching the Brits swoon over the tandoori, the Korma and the everything is curry world of Indian cuisine. Jacket potatoes on the other hand I took to since moving here about 2years ago. I love baked potatoes with some chilli con carne, guacamole and a generous drizzle of sour cream.
Who in Scotland is calling dhal a curry?? You get dhal WITH your curry but it's not A curry.
YUM! I just found this at random while looking at food stuff, SO happy to have found your channel! Thank you for this video!
Those grape earrings during the Brazil section are so cute! And the ones in the Poland section too.
I love a baked potato party idea! Thanks for this episode Beryl and recipe providers🍴
Loved the little lesson about the word curry! Thanks for sharing!
I just discovered this channel and have binge watched for the entire weekend!
For baked potato (or toast), I sometimes heat Heinz Baked beans and add smoked paprika, ground cumin and ground coriander. Put the beans in potato or toast and then top with shredded cheese like mozarella or white cheddar. Yum!
Please do more baked potatoes episodes, this was so much fun! Your idea of a baked potato around the world is great, will sure do that in the future.
Need a part 2 of this !!!!! It was amazing
Instead of sprinkling the Quatro Queijos potato with shoestring crisps, you can also sprinkle it with crunchy bacon bits. Trust me, this tastes incredible!
Beryl, I was touched by your comments about the non-stressful baked potato party. I used to do something very much like that. Just in case you don't know about this, if you ever have a baked potato party and want a no-stress way to cook your potatoes ahead of time and keep them warm for hours, use a regular crockpot. Just wrap them as usual and lay them in there. You can start them the night before. They stay nice and warm for a day without getting dried out. Great video.
Last year for my birthday party I did a baked potato bar and was so fun and pretty easy! Some of the potatoes were sweet potatoes too, which could be eaten sweet or savory. Toppings included cheese and sour cream, green onions, bacon, black beans, tahini, butter, and brown sugar
Speaking of baked potato parties - When I was in university we had a baked potato potluck where I made all the potatoes and people all brought different toppings. The options we had at the time were definitely far more basic (sour cream, bacon, chili, cheese sauce...). This absolutely makes me want to do this again with more topping variety.
My favorite!
Twice baked.
Scrub and dry potatoes hub in olive oil and coarse salt( a must)
Pierce the skins a few times and wrap in foil and bake in hot oven.
Take out and open foil, use towel or kitchen gloves and cut in half and scoop out insides leaving a bit of a shell.
Mix the potato insides mashed with butter, sour cream, ground ham, cheddar cheese and black pepper, stuff back in skin and dip the top in grated parmigiana. Place in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil and bake at 375 degrees until browned on top.
You can also drizzle with a bit of truffle oil and green onion or chives to serve.
Yummy!
Home made broccoli-cheddar soup over a baked potato is one of life’s simple pleasures.
TOTALLY INSPIRED…love this show and YES expect a family potato party over the Easter weekend.
P.S. you are so cute. XoxoMOM
Love that you comment too Mom ❤😅
I had a bring your own topping baked potato party. It was lots of fun. You can put the potatoes in the air fryer also.
YESSSS I've been waiting for this one! I meant to send mine in but I never did. A classic baked potato topping in the north-east of England is cheese savoury. it's grated cheese (usually cheddar but you can use red leicester too), grated carrot and finely diced or grated white onion, mixed with mayonnaise or (not my preference) salad cream. It's a classic sandwich filling too. Lush but it makes you stink of onion so one for working from home days.
Growing-up, I ate it this way ground beef in brown gravy and mushrooms canned dtained & added to this mixture. Put on a baked potato with sour cream on top...🥰!! Cheddar Cheese can be added before the sour cream is added.
❤❤❤OMG BERYL I FREAKING LOVE YOU!!❤❤❤ I have been craving baked potatoes but wanted more topping ideas, girl you read my mind and gave me what I desperately wanted from you with out me saying a word😂. 😘 Perfection, this makes me so Happy 😁.
I love how we got to see your personality more Beryl ❤
Like we're having a chat.
Potatoes are my desert island food - versatile
I love you are kind of a food historian with some of the dishes you replicate origins.❣️❣️
As a swede the type of Shrimp we use here in sweden (Pandalus borealis) is a different kind that is smaller, and significatly sweeter in taste, and all around have more taste, You peel the shrimp and leave them whole. And since they are small its no problem.
I wouldnt say that the roe is just if you feel fancy as the swede in the video said. I think every single skagenröra Ive ever eaten have had roe in it. Ones bought premade from the shop, ones made in house at restaurants, homemade ones from scratch, all have had some type of roe in them. Cheap ones have cheap roe in it, fancy ones have really nice roe. Skagenröra is commonly eaten in sweden and i grew up with parents that liked skagenröra, so i probably eaten it around onve per week my whole life.
However garnashing with extra dollop of roe or a few extra shrimps on top would be a thing you might see if people want it to be a bit fancy and special.
And in sweden you wouldnt use sourcreame but Crème fraiche. You see many recipes do half Crème fraiche and half mayo. But you see some that just use mayo.
Other common additions in modern swedish recipes might also have chives or finely diced red onion, horseradish, a tiny bit of congac.
If you enjoy a crispy - skin baked potato, soak scrubbed whole russet potatoes in salted water to cover. I use a teaspoon or two for enough water to cover 4 baking potatoes. Soak for about an hour. Drain, pat dry with a kitchen towel. Stab each potato 2-4 times with a fork. Put potatoes on a baking tray and bake at 425F until soft when gently squeezed. Don't wrap in foil, don't cover and don't bake at a lower temperature. Yum!
Beryl ~ another great video! I teach cooking to seniors once a month and doing a baby baked potato class with various toppings is such a delicious idea. Thank you. It's fun being inspired by others like you.
All very nice variants, especially the Turkish one interests me.
