As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have some Apple-wood smoked pulled pork from Captain Len's. I thought it's flavor would go great topping a baked Gold Potato, and boy was I right!
Now you can smoke your own pork, if you have a smoker, or you can buy several brands at retail grocers, but mine is from a place passionate about smoked meats, Captain Len's! My wife also wanted to add a touch of his not-so-famous BBQ sauce which is out of this world!
Ingredients
- Gold Potato of choice
- Smoked, pulled pork, again your choice
- EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- Freshly ground pepper and sea salt
- Real Butter
- Sour Cream
- More salt and pepper
- shredded cheese
- BBQ sauce
- Preheat Oven to 425°F
- In a baking sheet, drizzle EVOO all around, add salt and pepper to the EVOO.
- Wash and trim a needed your potatoes. You will be eating the skins so keep that in mind.
- Add cleaned potatoes to the baking sheet and drizzle with more EVOO and salt & pepper
- Place in preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, turning once halfway through the baking time
- When you have about 15 minutes to go, place the pork in aluminum or oven proof container and set in oven to heat.
- When cooked, split open and top with pulled pork and your favorite condiments!
Conclusion
This turned out much better than I had hoped. My wife even took leftovers to work to eat the next day...high praise indeed!
