Thank you Honneecombs I need simply simple this is an excellent example and can pair nicely with a hard boiled egg straight from the shell (I love them)

@Honeeecombs I usually microwavd mine but I bet this tastes much better, with a crispier outside, which I love. Does anybody have any ideas for how to make the skin extra crispy, like the spuds at Longhorn? Are they charbroiling theirs or something?

I haven't taken the time to read the previous posts, but you can rub a thin layer of any kind of oil (or fat- think bacon fat, or butter)on the skin of the potato. Also, you can add a bit of salt, or corn starch. Or potato starch. You should google this next idea,but it seems to me that I've heard that baking powder works as well. I have an air fryer and make a lot of roasted potatoes, which are usually smaller to begin with, or cut into chunks of whatever size you like, and the challenge is to find the best way to crisp up the outside. Dried skins are not the same (or as nice) as crispy skins. Good luck!

I've just read a couple of the prior posts and someone did mention the oil. However, the salt and or the starch (not too much, unless you want it to create a 'coating') should up the 'crisp-factor.'

How about peanut butter cookies? This is easy and really good:

1 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup brown sugar
1 large egg

350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes depending on how chewy vs crispy you like your cookies. I usually add any or all of the following:

Chocolate chips
Flax seed- ground up only! (Careful with this- as
good as it is for you, it is very high in fiber)
Dates- chopped into small pieces

I'm also going to try adding chopped maraschino (sp?) cherries, and in a separate batch, bacon bits.

Enjoy!

For all natural peanut butter which separates turnPB container upside down on a plate or bowl while storing and the oil rises back into the PB instead of pooling on top of the butter

Yeah, that's true; and I buy only the natural stuff- no sugar, no salt, no shortening added, so I figure this is a fairly health snack.

I love it simple easy and room to play if you are a cooking kind of cook.
Where as me,my next recipe was:

BANANA
You buy it you anxiously watch it turn yellow (er) you peel it. It is satisfying and delicious but not too delicious sort of adequate. Then you fuss about composting the peel.
Bon appetit!

Mmmmmm!!!

Hey @Maymay941: Do you enjoy Banana Bread? Bananas are rich in potassium. I think I have a potassium deficiency since sometimes when I go to stand up too quick, I will get dizzy - but Bananas are good for that from what I hear.

If you can find a good Banana Bread recipe, please find one and add it! It would be a great addition. Zucchini Bread is pretty good too (as a kid, I could never tell the difference lol)

Anyway, hope you are having a goodnight.

Blessings,
HC

Honneecombs I knew you were going to fix us some nice banana bread but I like my recipe although I do like banana bread someone else has baked.
My last and final
recipe is more complicated. It goes like this:
Cheeseburger

Get in the car and drive to Wends. Ask politely for a cheeseburger. With extra virtue points for not getting fries or a drink! Eat the darn thing when it's hot!
Please note the slice of lettuce and slab of onion and tomato count as salad if you don't pull them out and crumple in wrapper in disgust at the difficulty of eating in Situ.
There! I KNEW I ate food an now you know how much I cook!

No worries @Maymay941; Wendy's is good too! I've always favored Long John Silvers and Taco Bell.

I heard Wendy's has a new promotion that if you order fries, they are guaranteed hot and fresh. I've always enjoyed the fries with cheese and bacon on them; baconator fries? Yummy! ^_^ Happy Sunday Maymay!

@Maymay941 RFLMAO! I love it!

I think the cheeseburger recipe from @Maymay941 works for me!!!! And of course asking politely for it is especially important!!! No fuss, no muss!!! As for the lettuce, onion and tomato, that can count as salad but ask anyone who's been to Texas, or is from there, and those ingredients are vital to any self-respecting cheeseburger or hamburger!!!
And while we're at it, why not add mustard and maybe mayo if you want and of course dill pickle slices.
Your work is cut out for you if you eat with just one hand so a hamburger like that is best eaten with two hands!
Once I had been to Texas it was never just plain ol' ketchup on hamburgers for me, ever again!!!!
For that true Texas experience, drink a Dr. Pepper (in a bottle) along with it, or for something a little stronger, Lone Star or Pearl beer!!!!
And @Honeeecombs, maybe this is another addition to your community cookbook!!!!

@Billiveshere: Absolutely Bill! I love anything from Texas. Pulled Pork BBQ and Brisket just to name a few. We have a local BBQ spot in our area called "Dinosaur BBQ". There BBQ sauce is out of this world!

Recently been playing a wild west game called "Red Dead Redemption 2" - it takes place in the south in a fictional land near Texas in the outskirts of New Orleans.

I'd love some good Southern BBQ on here! I will look for some good recipes online to add.

By the way Bill, on the last page is the potato recipe - I hope you got a kick outta that.

Blessings,
HC
