Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Ended up with something more "inspired by" this recipe than the actual recipe, so not rating it. Made the kimchi topping here and put it on roasted veg including potatoes. Really good.

    This was good. At first bite I wasn't sold. I feel like conceptually I like toppings on a baked potato but in practice I just want sour cream and green onions. After a few bites I decided it was good. And when I finished my half of a potato I was sad it was gone and wanted more. I used sharp cheddar cheese and I think it worked well.

    This works really well. I used russet potatoes, cheddar instead of mozzarella, and a fairly new batch of kimchi, barely a week old, which I thought was too young but it still caramelized nicely. The combination of flavors was really more than the sum of its parts, and Kim is right about the sugar. I never would have thought of it on my own, but it rounded out all the flavors nicely.

    The recipe calls for larger potatoes but the header notes say you can use smaller spuds for a party platter so I went with the minis and they were really good. I subbed diced country ham for the bacon but fried it and the kimchi in bacon fat. The little potatoes don't really hold enough heat to melt the mozzarella so I popped them back into the oven before topping with the sour cream, etc.

    This is more of a serving suggestion than a recipe. I used russet potatoes instead of yukon gold. Next time I will make more bacon and kimchi. I never make baked potatoes- neither of my kids had ever had one- because they are generally a bit boring on their own. But these are really delicious and we will be making this low effort, high-reward dinner again!

    Outstanding. Made these Smashed Potato style, finishing off in the broiler. Outstanding. Leftovers will make a lovely hash in the morning
