Everybody knows about the infamous “accidentally poured stock down the drain” incident, but unbelievably I’ve managed to have an even worse one.

At 1 AM, a little tipsy, I was ready to strain my chicken stock. Usually, I put a strainer on top of a big bowl but last night I just followed my elbow memory and poured the content of the pot directly through the strainer onto the counter surface.

Spilling the stock was a disaster: there was stock on the counter, on the floor, and even in the drawers. You may guess: no stock left behind and an hour wasted on cleaning every surface covered with the greasy liquid.

What’s your dumbest late-night kitchen mistake?

I've cooked my potatoes in different ways : Campfire .... cooked buried in ashes, on a hot rock, wrapped in foil, or placed in a can full of water.

Boiled and cut into rings, my potato was roasted alongside some veggies and meat, microwaved in a cloth bag, and pan-fried.

Raw, pan-fried, or roasted are otherwise my favorites... till now!

Recipe: Prick it with fork and oil & salt it. Bake it in the oven at 300°F for one hour, after which apply oil and salt again and increase the temperature to 400°F for ten minutes.

The salted skins are just great!

I added some butter and mild cheddar, spicy paprika, regular paprika, and salt & pepper to it.
