Comment on crispy potato skins with sour cream and chive dip, or guacamole, or whatever you darn well fancy by Jane

I have also found they work almost just as well if you cook the potato in the microwave, then follow the cutting and cooking in the oven, saves time it you are late in from work but fancy something easy and tasty.

there are lots of things you can do with it, mash is the obvious choice but there’s also potato cakes, bubble and squeak, use it to top shepherds pie, make it into croquettes or soup, bread or even a souffle!

Now that is a good way to spend your birthday! I have the recipe written down in a notebook somewhere so will have a rummage around for it and get it to you, such a good one to have under your belt.

Hi, Toro is so amazing and the Perro Picante is one of my favorite cocktails in Boston! What are the chances you’d be willing to share the recipe for the drink with me? We can consider it a birthday present…Saturday was my birthday and I spent it at Toro drinking perro picantes! I would LOVE the recipe for that cocktail so I can make some at home. I promised never to share the recipe if it makes a difference.

Thanks! Scott
