How do you make yours? I was wanting to bake them so they are less fattening, but man nothing beats a deep fried one with the crunchy crust! :drool Maybe if I brush a tiny bit of oil on then and broil them upside down after they bake, that might get a good crust?

Any suggestions? :thinking

if you want to bake them, then def use the oil it will make for a crisp crust. or maybe even par fry them a few seconds then bake them.

Deep Fried....LOL!
From working at Great Steak & Potato, it's the only way I'll make 'em.

ewwwww! I'm queen of fatty fried foods, but I can't stand them fried. I love the baked ones b/c they aren't nearly as greasy and I just don't like eating greasy potato. I like greasy almost anything else, but not potato :lol

We have only made them once and we did both :lol We fried them and then put cheese and bacon in the middles and then cooked them in the oven to melt the cheese. Then when they were done we topped them with sour cream.

SOOOO fattening, but soooooooo good!!

:roflmao I decided to do half and half, to satisfy everyone. That way I can have a fatty one and a couple baked ones. I suppose it doesn't matter since I am topping them with cheese, bacon, sour cream and green onions. :roflmao
