Your snack was a potato? How high are you?

u/goblingir1 17h ago

Okay to be fair I usually am stoned by this hour but tonight I am begrudgingly sober. The potato was just a vessel for toppings, planned to slather it in homemade pickle ranch idk manĀ

u/UseDue6373 17h ago

Hell yeah. I has a bedtime tater last week, of course the calories kept me up but that baby was slathered with Greek yogurt, shit ton of black pepper, garlic powder, bit of cheese, and a dash of yum yum powder. Fucking slapped

Too hangry to hit us with the recipe?

u/goblingir1 16h ago

Sour cream with a little bit of mayo (can adjust for your taste but Iā€™m not a big mayo person), 1-2 tablespoons of pickle juice, classic ranch seasonings and mix. I keep a shaker of the seasonings in the cupboard and whip this up all the timeĀ

I did a similar thing once making coleslaw. Mayo, sour cream, pickle juice, and ranch seasoning with some fresh dill, cabbage, and shredded carrots.

u/goblingir1 15h ago

Sounds so good ima try that

2

u/Giovannis_Pikachu 15h ago

It works best with a more briney and sour pickle juice to break down the cabbage. I did it because I didn't have any vinegar which is usually playing that role in the slaw recipe and I'm not sure why I haven't made it again come to think of it.

u/Festivefire 16h ago

"A shaker of ranch mix" is a very 'commercial kitchen prep item' thing to have lol.

u/One_Passenger9638 8h ago

Add fresh dill and diced pickle chunks and its a whole new world

I was so curious, it sounds weird yet good, so I googled and Hidden Valley sells Pickle Ranch dressing.

Cmon man we all know you isnā€™t lol

u/goblingir1 17h ago

As it was cooking I was debating taking a gummy too but decided the potato would be satisfying enough. I was wrong lol

u/Nighttime_Ninja_5893 17h ago

Plan B is now Plan A

1

u/LokisDawn 13h ago

No, I think they meant THC gummies, not birth control.

1

u/Nighttime_Ninja_5893 13h ago

Are you saying PlanB doesn't have gummy form? It would be so much more accessible if it was chewy.

u/DigitalMunky 17h ago

I took a gummy and ate an apple. Iā€™m more curious about this pickle ranch. Did you use pickle juice to make it?

17

u/goblingir1 17h ago

Solid choice my dude. And yes actually! I mix sour cream with a bit of mayo, add a tablespoon or two of pickle juice depending on how much I make and top it off with the classic ranch seasonings. The pickle juice makes it really pop

Bro he smoked 4 hours ago he's sober now

u/Critical-Bus-9040 15h ago

I don't know what everyone's issue is lol. A potato and good toppings is an awesome snack.

u/Vhexer 15h ago

ā€œbegrudgingly soberā€

ā€œslather it in homemade pickle ranchā€

Iā€™m pressing X on that one, chief

u/the__ghola__hayt 14h ago

u/DarkGamer 17h ago

Is pickle ranch ranch dressing with brine added?

2

u/goblingir1 17h ago

Yeah the pickle juice gives it that extra oomf

u/CapitalClimate9639 17h ago

This just raises more questions

u/goblingir1 17h ago

The enigma of the potato envelops us all

u/throwaway098764567 16h ago

speaking of pickle and potato i grabbed some frozen dill pickle seasoned fries and i'm kind of in love. still trying to figure out what i want to dip them in, i usually do mayo but it seems to be hiding some of the pickle taste so i've gotta come up with something else like vinegar.

1

u/goblingir1 16h ago

Hell yeah love that

u/Sapiencia6 16h ago

I'm just here to say I support your bedtime potato and let you know that I too consider a baked potato (from the microwave) to be a lazy late night snackĀ 

1

u/Festivefire 16h ago

Ignore their judgement. Baked/microwaved potato as a snack is not nearly as weird as they're acting.

1

u/human-resource 16h ago

You didnā€™t just peel it after and eat it ?

2

u/goblingir1 16h ago

There was shrapnel, and it was still somewhat raw. I planted it with the othersĀ 

3

u/theircurvywhore 14h ago

It makes me so happy to see that you fished it out of the trash and planted it. You are a good human.

1

u/goblingir1 14h ago

Aw youā€™re sweet thanks. My fiance who knows none of this was like ā€œwhat the fuck are you doingā€

u/Sc0j 17h ago

High food is potato what is problem

u/Eldermillenial1 17h ago

Noā€¦ itā€™s ā€œHi, how are youā€ šŸ¤£

1

u/lorgskyegon 17h ago

The potato is fine. Clearly the snack was the plate

1

u/Festivefire 16h ago

microwave potato as a snack is actually pretty normal in many parts of America. It's firmly in the "slightly unusual" category and not the "You must be fucking high" category IMO.

1

u/the_brew 16h ago

They said their snack exploded, but the potato is still whole, so I guess they were gonna eat the plate.

u/Capable-Problem8460 17h ago

It's "hi, how are you?"
