I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since we lost Steve Irwin - it still hurts…

Posting now because it’s already the 4th in Australia.

We miss you, Steve. Thanks for all you taught us.

[homemade] “Potato Cupcakes”

This meal was so well received that even a notorious potato hater was a fan, so I thought I would share the recipe.

Bacon: Cookie sheet, bake in oven 400° until crispy.
Chop bacon, pour rendered fat into container for later use.

Butter: Saucepan on medium-low heat with unsalted butter, rosemary, and fresh minced garlic.

Potatoes: Baked in salt, pepper, rosemary, and beef tallow at 400° for about 30 minutes then drizzled in rendered bacon fat and Parmesan.

Bake an additional 10 minutes, then remove and cut in half.

Use rendered bacon fat and fresh garlic butter lining in cupcake tins - smash potato halves into cupcake tin. Drizzle with garlic butter and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Remove and place toppings: bacon and cheese mix for base, then chives, and then more cheese to keep the chives in place.

Finally, place them back in the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Now, very carefully while they are still hot, grab a cookie sheet and place it on top of the cupcake tin.

Now you can flip them all upside down and roughly tap the bottom of the tin to make them fall out.

Now either grab a casserole dish and flip them back into that or carefully grab them to plate and top with a dollop of sour cream "icing" if you choose.

They held together pretty well - I grabbed a fork but found I could eat them nearly as a finger food, almost like a cupcake.

So what do you guys think of these?

While filming 2018 Netflix documentary "Flint Town," a man was stabbed in the face during a home invasion, drove himself to the hospital, then waited 27 hours for police. In 2017 average response time for Flint police officers answering high-priority calls reached 58 minutes. It’s half that today.
