Can I then deep fry it?
I believe you have to deep fry it before you put the whipped cream on,

Hersey's, Dove, Lindt taken straight(it was a good Christmas) - plus Triple Chocolate cookie batter from the 9th grader's school catalog selling door to door.
For desert - baked potato's stuffed with cheese, chives, bacon bits and topped with sour cream and some bacon strips beer battered and deep fryed in Zatarain's Chicken fry.
heh heh heh - Plus a multi vitamin for a well balanced meal.
Now this thread is on the right track. Recipe so far: bake the potato, throw out the white part and fill the jacket with chocolate, add whip cream.
I try and avoid white potatoes as I read somewhere they are bad for you, but can't remember where. Instead I have switched to eating yams which are much healthier for you. Luckily we like the taste of yams.
White potatoes turn to sugar in your gut. Not much good about that. Humans didn't eat a significant quantity of anything like modern potatoes until the evolutionarily insignificant interval of a few thousand years ago. As a traditional, holiday comfort food, why not? As a daily staple, not on my table.

My doctor told me to avoid white potatoes so we switched to sweet potatoes or yams. Much better for you. We do them in a steamer. Twenty minutes for two big ones. I like mine with margerine and salt. Wife puts honey on hers. We've also gotten away from "white" pasta.
All of that stuff now comes in whole wheat. We don't eat any of the white breads, potatoes or pasta anymore. Just special occasions like New Years Eve--couple big porterhouse steaks with sauteed mushrooms and of course a big 'ol baked potato with sour cream. Yummy!
Y'all need to come to the Texas State Fair next year. If you can eat it, someone there will offer it deep fried...I don't know, some deep fried whip cream sounds mighty tasty.

We also love yams, and yesterday, after playing tennis, we splurged (calorie-wise) and went to our local Fuddruckers where you can now substitute fried yams for french fries, and they were very tasty indeed.
So what is the difference in nutritional composition between white potatoes and sweet potatoes? The local farm grows a variety of sweet potatoes (which were apparently the largest crop in NJ before WWII, to my amazement), so we have been eating more sweet potatoes these days what with eat local and all that.
Yep, we had 'em when we went to Fuddrucker's on our trip to Texas earlier this month. They also serve the sweet 'tater fries at the Cruisin' Cafe at A1A & Main St. in Daytona Beach, FL. And we just had some the other night for dinner, that come from the grocer's freezer case....don't recall the brand...but they were most excellent (deep fried of course!).
There's not a lot of difference between the 2 of them, although a lot more carbs in potatoes. (data from here)
Baked Yams - 1 serving (136g)
Cals 158

Carbs 37g
Baked Potato - 1 serving (139g)
Cals 128

Data on the baked potato looks fishy. 66 grams of carbs & protein times 4 calories per gram equals 264 calories vs. the 128 listed.
One of the biggest differences that doesn't show up in your comparison is the glycemic index. The GI for yams is a lot lower than it is for white potatoes, which helps establish them as "healthier".Good spot - thanks
I've fixed it it - it should have been 29g carbs
- maybe eating yams affects the eysight

And we get this bit of good news, unfortunately, I just finished my breakfast Oh well, lunch in a few hours...The GI of a mixed meal is very difficult to predict. For example, fats and proteins can make a meal sit in the stomach longer, which reduces a food's GI.
-ERD50Recent studies have shown that the consumption of an alcoholic drink prior to a meal reduces the GI of the meal by approximately 15%.
