here's something to season your foods, like the grown-ups do with emeril's original essence. add another dimension by sprinkling it into everything, from soups and sauces to pizza and hamburger patties. you fearless bammers out there can kick this up a notch by adding cayenne, to taste. (i'd start with about 1/4 teaspoon, and then take it from there.) |
Directions:
1. Optional Kicked Up Toppings:
2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and make sure the oven rack is in the center position.
3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Rub with the oil, and season with the salt and pepper on all sides.
4. Bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour.
5. To make the Special Sauce, in a small bowl combine all the ingredients and stir well to blend.
6. Remove potatoes from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Using oven mitts or potholders, carefully transfer the hot potatoes to a plate and serve with the Special Sauce. Serve optional toppings, as desired.
7. Baby Bam Seasoning:
8. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine with a wooden spoon.
9. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
