Club Spud: a Baked Potato for Meal

I do food reviews for most of the restaurants that I dine at.

I take photos, write and post reviews of the food, the service and atmosphere.

They are honest reviews, but I look for positive things to say. These are posted on Google Maps.

When you are looking for a place to eat in your area the google map brings up restaurants and has reviews related thereto.

I recently reviewed a place in Arkansas that served a baked potato that I described as microwaved. They responded it was not microwaved and asked how do I suggest they make it better?

I decided to make a better potato. Introducing the Club Spud…

2 potatoes about to be scrubbed.
Scrubbed clean so you can eat the skin if you so desire.
Poked with a fork so they don’t “explode” and will cook faster.
Oiled up.
Salted w fresh ground, pink Himalayan salt.
Baked in the air fryer. It’s just a convection oven.
It’s ready. Splitting them for stuffing.
Pats-o-butter. Real Land-o-Lakes butter.
Butter is mixed in.
A dollop of Daisy – Sour Cream.
To be Toppings; Colby jack, white American cheeses, smoked, shaved turkey and bacon!
Diced.
Bacon!
Frying!
Toppings are prepped!
Toppings added, all but the bacon.
Air-fried until melty and bacon pieces added.
A proper Club Spud.

The potato was soft and creamy. The skin was just crisp and salty. The toppings were hot and melty with a bacon crunch.

This was a proper Club Spud.

Enjoy!
