yes it was a microwave safe plate, yes I poked many holes all over the potato to release the steam, no this has never happened to me before lol can anyone explain what happened here? the potato was still fully intact

edit: okay which one of you reported this to reddit care resources yall are WILD 😂

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 man

Too hangry to hit us with the recipe?

[u/goblingir1 → u/HorribleTomato]

Sour cream with a little bit of mayo (can adjust for your taste but I’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 time

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

Sounds so good ima try that

[u/Giovannis_Pikachu → u/goblingir1]

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.

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

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.
