Loaded Baked Potato Dip
Snacks and finger foods are always in order. Whether it's a casual event or a high brow holiday party, appetizers warm-up the crowd and keep people happily munching the entire time. This recipe for loaded baked potato dip is from Morgan Murphy's new cookbook called Bourbon and Bacon. It was sent to me to review, and I thoroughly enjoyed the recipes and humor all in one place. In his latest book, Morgan writes about two of the South's favorite obsessions. That's right, bourbon and bacon. In it, he includes 140 mouthwatering recipes using one or both as ingredients. This book is not only informative but it's filled with incredible recipes and enticing pictures, too. The anecdotes and witty comments peppered throughout made me smile and laugh out loud. Often.
Loaded Baked Potato Dip an Appetizer to Remember
If you've never read one of Morgan's cookbooks, you are in for a real treat. His humorous quips in the narrative grab the reader leaving you both delighted and entertained. I love this quote from the book and I think it sums it all up. "Bacon tastes better than skinny feels." Well said Morgan, I completely concur.
"Take your love of baked potatoes and move it from the side dish spread to the appetizer buffet. Serve with waffle fries baked extra crispy for dippers."

I'm sorry, maybe this is silly, but I was expecting potatoes to be in the recipe based on the title. "Slices" of chives threw me as well. Nonetheless, it looks delicious and I will definitely be trying this soon.

Recipe looks great! But I have to know...where did you find that gorgeous chip and dip?
Melissa
Isn't that gorgeous? This recipe is from a cookbook review I did for Southern Living, so that dish is theirs.

Mandolins span the gamut in price and quality. Williams-Sonoma or any specialty kitchen store will carry them. QVC, Amazon and beyond.

Melissa, could you tell me where I can buy a mandolin waffle fries maker. thank you Jodine Sauerman.
Melissa
If you have a mandolin waffle fries are simple to make. Slice as many as you like, leaving the peel on, then fry until crispy and golden at 350-360°F.
