Potato Bomb

No, 'Potato Bomb' isn't the name for some awesome starchy dish stuffed with fried and fatty things. Unfortunately, it's what we had in our kitchen last night after a mishap with a couple of tubers.

In my haste to get a couple of Idaho baking potatoes into the oven, I forgot to poke them. Thusly, without a 'blow hole' to let steam out, the steam escaped via explosion. Don't let this happen to you:The blast was so loud, the husband and I were convinced someone was directly outside the house shooting skeet. From now on, no potato will go un-poked.

THAT is funny. What a bummer - both with having to clean out the oven AND losing two valuable parts of your dinner!

I know! What's funny is that I was only making steak and baked potatoes, so we had no choice but to rescue the intact ball-o-potato and split it between the two of us! Maybe it's a sign I should cut back on the carbs.
