Good idea...

Does anyone have any "hot potatoes" recipes? There used to be a stall in
Glenelg (beachside suburb, South Australia) that sold hot potatoes (and
only hot potatoes) filled with sour cream and other condiments. But for
the life of me, I can't remember what the other condiments were.

I used to get these many years ago, but can't remember where (must have
been in the city) or what exactly I got on them. One of the sandwich bars
in the main shopping centre in Penrith sells baked potatoes with a few
different toppings - ham, cheese, pineapple; a savoury mince and cheese -
don't remember what else they have. I'm heading to the Plaza tomorrow to do
some shopping so I'll check it out.

I've been known to top a baked potato with a little can of baked beans and
some cheese for a relatively healthy and filling lunch.

Cheese, sour cream, chives, crumbled bacon - they're all good on baked
potato.

The place I'm thinking of was a like a hot dog stall, on the main
shopping strip. It may have been a franchise. He sold canned drinks,
and single hot potatoes (with sour cream and other toppings) in those old-
style McDonald's styrofoam containers.

This would have been at least 20 years ago, though.

I think all of those were toppings on my Glenelg potatoes

I'm in NSW so it may well have been a different place, don't remember
whether it was a franchise place or not. If it was in the city it must have
been about that long ago as I haven't worked in Sydney CBD for that long.
They came in styrofoam containers.

If by 'hot potatoes' you mean jacket or baked potatoes, put anything you
(or the sprog) like in them.

In the UK common fillings a

coleslaw
baked beans
tuna and sweetcorn
things labelled as 'curry'
anything with cheese in it or on it
things labelled as 'chilli'

other local things as well

Yes, I did mean baked potatoes. I was thinking of The Wiggles song.

You're the second person to have mentioned baked beans... they wouldn't
have occurred to me.

Thanks.

LOL it wouldn't have occurred to me and have never tried it. Never tried
a baked bean pizza either

Not specifically, but if you do not require a crusty skin (as in baked), a
crockpot is again a good friend. The result is an 'in jacket steamed
potato' which can then be split and used to stuff.

Wash but do not dry potatos. Add to crockpot on low, and add a few palmfuls
of water to the bottom. Dont bother to wrap them in anything like foil or
plastic etc. You can stab them with a fork a few times if you want to vent
frustrations but it's not needed.

Just about anything goes! I'll add black olives and crisped bacon
sometimes, other times bits of chicken or clams with a white gravy. Other
times I veggie out with sauteed green bell pepper, onion, and then top with
fresh avocado.

Charlotte is partial (likes) a few deshelled southern salt boiled peanuts
and black beans made to a gravy in a blender (use a stick blender for ease)
with sour cream and butter but will eat mine or Dad's if we aint looking.

Don likes imitiation crab/lobster fast warmed in butter and garlic with
mushroom bits. and will eat mine or Charlottes if we dont guard them (grin).
