I was out of sour cream, and forgot to pick some up at the store today. I ended up using cream cheese instead.

At first, I was like FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU



but then I was like

Interestingly enough I have sour creamed a bagel in a similar conundrum it was also better than expected.

1/30/2011 5:26:21 PM

if I don't have cream cheese for a bagel, I go for pizza bagels- if i don't have the materials for that, I go for mayo and sliced cheese broiled on top of it.

Now that I've finished my meal, I'm seriously debating opening a chain of restaurants featuring this item.

1/30/2011 5:38:54 PM

a lot of twice baked potatoes use cream cheese

1/30/2011 5:40:59 PM

yo, Biofreak70, look here bud


we have an opening where I work. They need someone to go around firing people. I'm going to recommend you for this position, seeing how you seem to be very good at dashing people's hopes and dreams.

Under similar circumstances i found goat cheese is also a fine substitute if sour cream is not available

1/30/2011 5:43:05 PM

ranch dressing is good on a baked potato

[Edited on January 30, 2011 at 5:44 PM. Reason : and i'm not even one of those ranchaholic folks]

1/30/2011 5:43:39 PM

i'm not sure about the cream cheese but goat cheese def sounds yum-o!

1/30/2011 5:43:50 PM

i've seen people use cottage cheese too - i'm scared to try that though


^^^^haha I said twice baked potatos- the market for just baked potatoes might be wide open. I was just suggesting another possible option for your menu to go with the flow yo

Mmmhmm. I used rosemary with it and a little salt. Perfect

1/30/2011 5:45:48 PM

a baked potato restaurant with a cereal restaurant attached to it

like a KFC/Taco Bell combo store

1/30/2011 5:48:08 PM

I'm curious to try this combination next time... would you actually recommend it?

1/30/2011 8:06:39 PM

I mean, in the future, I'm still going to put sour cream on my baked potato.... just so that I won't be judged by people like yourself. But that's not to say that cream cheese was bad in any shape or form.

1/30/2011 8:09:12 PM

cream cheese, on a potato?


PREPOSTEROUS

1/30/2011 8:24:20 PM

CREAMED
CHEESE

CREAMED

1/30/2011 8:25:28 PM

Cream cheese on MY potato?

It's more likely than you might think!

if i'm out if sour cream the chance of me having goat cheese on hand is slim to none.

that being said, red skin potatoes make superior baked potatoes, especially if you are going to nuke them. just a little real salted butter. i'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

1/30/2011 9:33:04 PM

cream cheese always > sour cream

cream cheese and chives on a baked potato is YUM

1/30/2011 9:34:22 PM

for you...but for me who loves to put goat cheese on triscuits for a snack, it's a regular grocery store purchase

1/30/2011 9:34:30 PM

off topic, but I like stirring some cream cheese into my hot spaghetti sauce

little trick I learned in the biz

1/30/2011 9:37:52 PM

fair enough. honestly, i can't say that i've ever had goat cheese.

1/30/2011 9:38:05 PM

well if you're in Raleigh I recommend going to the goat cheese stand in the building at the Farmer's Market. He's got a great selection of all kinds of herb encrusted goat cheese. You can taste test to find out if you like it or not before buying it or any goat cheese

1/30/2011 9:42:23 PM

goat mongerer

1/30/2011 9:46:43 PM

goat cheese is foul

every time i try it i feel like part of my soul has died

but i'm not a big fan of strong cheeses in general. i hate bleu cheese ugh

1/30/2011 9:47:48 PM

I dislike bleu cheese for the most part, but the bleu cheese dipping sauce they have at the diner on glenwood is fucking delicious with their sweet potato fries.

1/30/2011 9:50:06 PM

this thread is making me hungry

1/30/2011 9:55:12 PM

hmm cream cheese aye?

doesn't sound bad...

i made chicken broth from scratch today and it was awesome!!

1/30/2011 10:32:55 PM

I don't like sour cream, but this sounds like money. Will try.

Haha I'm trying to imagine the decor of such a restaurant.

1/31/2011 2:40:56 PM

Baked potato and gorgonzola ftw!

1/31/2011 8:36:43 PM

wasn't there a cereal restaurant on hillsborough at some point? didn't it fail miserably?

if so, it probably failed because they didn't serve baked potatoes with cream cheese

1/31/2011 8:37:58 PM

sweet tomatoes has a decent baked potato bar

1/31/2011 8:49:16 PM

sometimes they grow potatoes in idaho
