[New to Keto] Before you throw out that Potato

newbies

(VLC.MD) #1

I was determined not to waste food.
[Surely my mother is to blame from her saying …
“There are starving people in Africa and you won’t eat your vegetables ?” my entire childhood ]
But what do I do with my potatoes ???
I really really dont want to eat them.
Ever.
Catch 22 really.

And I finally got it … Here is my Keto “Life Hack” (as my son would say.)

Step 4 is the only mandatory step.

Alternative recipe.
(1) Peel potato.
(2) Keep the peels, throw out the rest.

Be still my heart!!! I love potatoes skins and didn’t think I could have them on Keto. Bring on the bacon, green onion, cheese and sour cream! Yeeeeeeaaay!

Potatoes were a hard thing for me to leave behind. I grew up in PA Dutch country so every single meal was, “What do you want with your potatoes?”

That’s fucking hilarious, thank you!

This looks really good. I mean it’s a potato skin - duh. But we can remove all potato and still have the best part - cheese and bacon and sour cream and bacon and cheese. And that skin could get really crispy. Great problem solving. I sort of want to defy step 4 just to do this. :grimacing:

I really wish I knew about this about two years ago when I first started Keto. This looks amazing. I love potatoes as well. What a great vessel for fat and protein!
I will have to share this creation with a few Keto buddies.

I woke up dreaming of this hack. So glad I’m in like company …

I now need to go deep fry a bunch of potato skins…


(Richard Hanson) #9

I hate to do this … but the skins have quite a bit of carbs.

In 100g of baked, skin only, … 38 g net carbs.

I liked potatoes when I used to eat them but potatoes truly are not food fit for human consumption. Let pigs eat them and convert them into bacon.

Keto for Life!

Best Regards,
Richard

Classic :sweat_smile:

Ingenious! That’s what I do!

How u remove the potato from inside with the knife or with a special machine and which machine if ?!? Thnx


(Bunny) #14

I wrap them in foil and bake them first then spoon them out, then fill them with cheese and bacon etc. then bake them again!

“Twice baked potato” I think is what they call it!
