Blooming baked potatoes?

[Jenise]

Didn't make them (yet), but I love the idea. This recipe/method features larger side-dish serving sized potatoes, but I'm wondering at loud here if one could get enough cuts into a small potato (not the same ratio as the larger ones, but enough) to do these as a hot passed hors 'douvres. Whadya think?

Nice looking recipe. I think even a small one might be too filling for hors 'douvres.

Well, anything is good if you throw enough cheese and bacon on it.

Reminds me of Hasselback potatoes.

It is essentially that, for sure, just cut for more crispy bits. And I'm a fan--our favorite is to finish them drizzled with a tangy barbecue sauce and serve with grilled bratwurst--hardly sophisticated food but a much more sophisticated version of my favorite eight grade cafeteria dish, wherein extra long hot dogs were slashed so they'd bend and cooked in a dilute barbecue sauce, of which one scoop with dog was ladled over mashed potatoes. It was GOOOOOD.

And Howie, by small, I meant golf ball sized--really small.

Does nothing for me.

I just love potatoes! For myself, though, I would actually prefer them without the cheese and bacon.
