This is funny because I saved the potato skin for my twice baked potatoes to making to potato skins with cheddar bacon and sour cream! And here you're making potatoes😂😂 I love it Great minds think alike Another delicious recipe and thank you
What a fantastic crowd pleaser for parties (of any size). For us we're approaching college and professional (American) football playoffs and I have a list of 'football food' I make for us. This definitely made the cut. Thanks so much.
Oh that looks like an absolutely delicious snack Rik, trouble is I’d polish off that whole lot on my own no problem!😋 Potato heaven on a plate, what a fantastic idea - thanks for sharing, will definitely be adding a bag of baby potatoes to my Christmas & New Year shopping lists! Can’t wait to try this fabulous treat! 👨🏼🍳😋👌🥰🎄❤️
Omg more potatoes please! lol. Since I’ve found your channel I’m wildly addicted to them. Didn’t think to make them so many different ways. In America, I only learned to make a plain baked potato or mash em with milk. I do love those mini potatoes. Great for home fries. Hope you’re enjoying your day!
What’s not to like, I love these, and I will make them when I get some small potatoes.Reminded me of a recipe from the Silver Palate cookbook, that I use to make years ago, small red potatoes baked till soft, then smashed, and dressed with olive oil, chopped garlic, and basil, then baked till crunchy, very good recipe too. Do you remember the tiny Jersey mid potatoes you could get in England, I would eat a plateful as a child covered in mint sauce, no meat just wanted the potatoes.😊
As always, Rik, they look scrumptious. As you were preparing them and adding salt and pepper, I was just thinking, a little smoked paprika would be good and just after that thought you suggested it as an option! 😊
Oh MY GOD, Rik - if only you knew how many years it took me to lose the 40kg of excess weight I used to carry. I think you may feel some pity for me as the delicious dishes you keep putting up are really testing my resolve! x
T.Y. so much Rik...I love anything with potatoes cheese and ham,this looks so easy,can't wait to try and have with beer,cider,wine...as you say...look at that !!!
I love potatoes, new, newish or the reat of last years crop. We always raised our own and my husband had a big garden as long as he could. I canned potatoes, never discarded any regardless of size. As a youngun, my mother made creamed pews with new potatoes and little onions and green beans with new potatoes, onions and bacon. Bacon too is the best seasoning you can find. These you made are new to me. But they really look delicious. Ive made up my mind to make all of your recipes that i can and will keep sharing them with those I know will love them also. Kudos on top of kudos to you. Early Merry Christmas to you.
Got to get some kind of spell check for me. The keyboard on my phone is too small for my big fingers. Keep hitting the wrong letter. Sorry for mistakes but hope you all know what I intended to spell
OMG, you are so prolific... you are making cooking vids all the time! Don't burn yourself out, Rik! But I am watching them all... and I did get ingredients for your bangers and mash today, and it's gonna be so gooooood... I even found a nice 'banger sausage' by North Country Smokehouse, that looks like the right sausage!
I heard or read somewhere that if all you had was potatoes to eat, you would not die of malnutrition. I can't imagine a world without this vegetable. I have never met or heard of another human being who did not like them. In fact, I have never seen a beast that would not eat them. They are such a blessing. These look really good, a nice change up from the everyday mash or roast...thanks Rik. One question...was that bacon precooked when you put it on or raw?
Already put this in my recipe folder Omg Rik what you doin.g to me. This will have to wait till after Christmas got all my meals sorted for this week. All your recipes lol Thanks as always I can already taste this one already. Yum yum yum.
I think squashing them with a potato masher would be good, the grid would leave a bit of "tread" to get toasty so the topping has something to cling to. I'll have to try this ASAP! 😀🙏❤️
Another recipe for my xmas party table. You are spoiling us rik with these extra video, but they are very much appreciated and these look so good Thank you Rik 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh my word, Rik! I work school days so I try and make meals to freeze on a weekend for us and separate some for me Dad. Please, if you know, would you say if we can freeze your creations. Sometimes the weekend isn't long enough, for me to make and eat, your meals xxx
I gained ten pounds just watching you make those smashed potato snacks! Lol They look so good! I should make them for our Christmas Eve gathering! 😋😊🎄🎅🏻 🍻
I keep bags of prepared bacon bits on hand all time for baked potatoes, salads, etc., so I don't have to fry bacon. And I'm not showing this recipe to any man I know...he'd want it for every sports event on TV.
You're spoiling us here with these multiple daily uploads of side dishes and 'picky bits'.
Ideas for everyone for the holidays. Thank You. Best, Rik
I gain a little bulk over the holidays, this year im blaming YOU and your awesome recipes 😂

OMG, you are so prolific... you are making cooking vids all the time! Don't burn yourself out, Rik! But I am watching them all... and I did get ingredients for your bangers and mash today, and it's gonna be so gooooood... I even found a nice 'banger sausage' by North Country Smokehouse, that looks like the right sausage!
Sounds like a plan. Thank You. Best, Rik

I think squashing them with a potato masher would be good, the grid would leave a bit of "tread" to get toasty so the topping has something to cling to. I'll have to try this ASAP! 😀🙏❤️
Thank You. Best, Rik
Tomorrow's side veg Rik 🎉🎉
