A Real Toe-Tapping Recipe, aka Cooking with a Wide Stance

If I were a different person, I might feel bad about continuing to do Larry Craig jokes. I mean, hasn't the man suffered enough? And what about his family?

But I'm not a different person.

And let's face it, when a man's unconscious denial was so strong that he ended up putting recipes like this out on the Internets...

"Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. "

Ohhhh. Yeahhhhh.

Republicans. They plump when you cook 'em.





Tap your foot here for the Super Tuber.

And for my friends Cynikell and Vito, who are always looking for a new Friday night activity for the kitchen, here's the recipe reprinted in full. Bon appetit!

Super Tuber is a great snack that uses one of my favorite vegetables: The Idaho Potato. Of course, I suppose any type of potato could be used, but I cannot guarantee that a Super Tuber made with anything but a true Idaho potato would taste as good. Sincerely, Larry E. Craig, United States Senator

Ingredients

1 hot dog, cook's choice

1 Idaho baking potato, 7 to 10 ounces

Mustard for dipping, any style

Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives.

Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through.

To Microwave: Place on microwave safe plate; cover loosely (to avoid splatters). Microwave on high about 4 minutes per potato until fork tender.

To Bake in Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake for approximately one hour or until potato is fork tender.

To Barbecue: Wrap in aluminum foil and place above medium hot coals, turning at least once during cooking. Cook until potato is fork tender.

Serving Suggestions: Allow potato to cool slightly. Eat as a finger food, dipping in your favorite hot dog condiments (mustard is my favorite).
