Big Bear Baked Potatoes



I had the pleasure of visiting Big Bear Baked Potatoes last week with two girlfriends...and what a treat! The potato was baked to perfection and the toppings were wonderful. Great food for the price and delivered by the boss, Eddy. He knows what he's doing--- and he does it really well. He's been open just over a year, but you wouldn't know it by the constant stream of customers. Most of the potatoes he uses are locally grown, but he also buys from around the country too. Good luck, Eddy.

Bubble and Squeak


This is a dish served usually the day after Christmas with ham, turkey and stuffing. I'm really not sure how it got its name other than it maybe due to gastronomical reasons...'nuf said. However, it's a great way to use leftover potatoes/brussell sprouts. It is delicious and has a flavor all its own. This is how I make it.

Mash about two cups of potatoes with one cup of brussel sprouts in a bowl. Add seasonings of your choice and form into patties. Saute the patties in a frying pan with oil until golden brown. Serve with leftover turkey/ham or make them for any meat dish.
