I once took a big potato, baked it until it was done, sliced in in half length-wise, made cuts only down to the skin in a grid pattern so there were 6 potato squares on each half, sprayed some “calorie-free” butter spray on them with a couple teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese, and broiled it until it started to brown. I put a dollop of plain fat-free Greek yogurt on top (instead of sour cream) right before serving. My husband, who usually dislikes anything that could be deemed “healthy,” absolutely loved it.
I personally love a regular baked potato with butter, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), a bit of shredded cheese, and a few bacon bits. Yum!
The only fried potatoes I’ve ever enjoyed were those made by my grandmother, and I’m sure they’re packed with calories. Soooo worth it though, especially paired with some fried chicken legs and her made-from-scratch cornbread. Oh wow, I need to go eat some lunch…
