Let's bake it, not once, but twice

Cayenne Twice Bake Potato

Serves As many potatoes that you use

Materials

1 potato medium or large
1 tsp. of Garlic powder
1 tsp. cayenne powder
1 tsp. nutritional yeast optional
Dash of salt
Up to 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Tools

Measuring spoons
Soup spoon
mixing bowl small or medium

Instructions

1     Place the potato into the oven, turn on the oven to 450 F for 45 mins
2     Once the outside of the potato is firm and feels crispy pull them out and with a knife cut the potatoes in half. The potato needs to have a firm crust in order for the the next step to work out well.
3     With a soup spoon hollow out the potato while hot and put the remains into a bowl, wrap your and in a towel or something to keep it from burning while holding the potato
4     With a fork or the spoon mash the potatoes until smooth and add your olive oil until the potatoes become into a mash potato consistency.
5     Add your dry ingredients and mash until all is evenly blended and smooth.
6     Stuff the potatoes with the cayenne potato mixture

Enjoy either warm, hot or cooled according to your whims.

You may add bits of sauteed mushroom and onion, or a slice of raw onion chopped or diced, whatever your heart desires.

 

 

This was one of my earliest recipes with the thermos wheat and sprout wheat cereal. I would also like to mention that one would need an electric oven for this because a gas stove, unless it is an exceptially good oven, would take a long time and it hasn't produced the desired results for me.

Mushroom Bake Potato With Cheese 

Hot! The Mash Potatoes are HOT!

Cayenne Mash Potatoes 

Yields one serving or two

Materials

4-5 small russet potatoes

Up to 2 tbsp. of olive oil/ ½ small avocado

2 tsp. of Cayenne Pepper

2 tsp. of Garlic Powder 

1 tsp. of Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt

1 tsp. of pepper

Tools

Stainless steel saucepot

Potato masher

Measuring cups

Colander

Serving dish

Instructions

1       Fill your pot half way and slice the potatoes and add them to the pot.

2       Boil the potatoes until tender and soft and drain the water using a colander or strainer or any method that works for you.

3       Without being too violent mash the potatoes until mashed.

4       First add a tbsp. of olive oil and mix until the potatoes are creamy to your liking. You may either have to add more oil or leave it depends on the condition of the potatoes. Or you can simply add ½ of an avocado and that will suffice. The avocado does a great job in creaming mash potatoes.

5       Add your dry ingredients and seasonings and mix.

Enjoy delicious spicy mash potatoes.

This is a base recipe. One can add sautéed mushrooms and onions or other ingenious ingredients according to your imagination and liking.

I have added this dish to many of my recipes such as my 100% Vegetable Spaghetti Dinner to thicken the sauce.

 This is my five star recipe only with one rater.

Here is one of my many applications of the Cayenne Mash Potatoes recipe,

100% Vegetable Spaghetti Dinner

100% Vegetable Spaghetti Dinner

Serves 2, cook time up to 1hr

Materials

½ spaghetti squash

1 ½ cup your favorite organic spaghetti sauce

1 cup of quartered grape tomatoes

1 cup of  mash potatoes*

½ garlic powder

Pinch of salt

Black Pepper

½ cup mushrooms

1 onion slice

 

Tools

Good sharp squash cutting knife

Stainless steel cooking sheet or glass pan

Stainless steel saucepot

Spatula

Measuring cups

Ladle

Knives

Tape measure or a simple 12-inch ruler (optional)

Large serving spoon

Some kind of stirring stick

 

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 400°  F (350 for an electric oven)

2 Take your heavy-duty squash-cutting knife and cut your spaghetti squash in half. Whatever you do, please do not cut your hand or fingers in the process. You can’t afford loosing those appendages. Place your semi spaghetti squash cut face down on your clean pan. Carefully pour water into pan 1/8 high, or just enough to cover the bottom part of the squash. Put squash in the oven to bake up till the flesh is tender or the water is dried up or the skin of the squash begins to blister (up to one hour with a gas oven).

3 While you squash is tenderizing in the oven, dish out the spaghetti sauce and cayenne mash potato into a saucepot and turn the temperature to low. Add your tomatoes, yummy sautéed mushrooms, and garlic powder as you stir the mash potatoes and spaghetti sauce. You may add salt pepper and other condiments into your sauce. Stir occasionally until the sauce is warm. 

 

4 When the squash is done, dish some into a bowl with a large serving spoon. Use a fork to separate the long ‘spaghetti’ strands. Pour the warm sauce into the center of the dish. Top it off with black pepper or cayenne pepper.

Eat and enjoy.

* You may just use my cayenne mash potato recipe in place of the same old mash potatoes. I used this to thicken the sauce.

Cube the potatoes into one inch cubes. Boil in the pot until tender. Drain water and add the dry ingredients. 

Stir until the potatoes are covered. Add water gradually until the yeast becomes creamy and to the desired consistency. Serve and enjoy.

You could add other seasonings and foods such as sauteed mushrooms and onions.
