As for the potatoes, there's no doubt the best is "twice baked potatoes"

For six large baked potatoes:

Cut the potatoes in half lenthwise and carefully scoop the potato out of the skins and save the skins!. In a large mixing bowl mash the potatoes with a fork or I prefer to use a potato ricer if you have one!. To this add 1/2 cup finely grated swiss or mozzarella cheese, 1/2 stick butter, three egg yolks (save the egg white for later) 1 tsp!. salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 cup half and half or whole milk!. Mix well!. Now in a mixing bowl beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high until they fluff up to a cool whip consistency!. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mashed potatoes being careful not to mix to much (just until mixed throughout)!. Spoon the mashed potatoes back into the empty skins, don't be shy here the skins should be overflowing! Top them with a little paprika and parmesan cheese and bake in a 350 F oven on middle rack for 30 minutes!. Remove and serve immediatly!. Mmm Mmm good!.
Hint: you can also use this recipe for glorious mashed potatoes, just pitch the skins!. These mashed potatoes are so light and yummy!.

As for the leftover boneless ribs, two words: Sloppy Joe's

Either pull rib meat apart with a fork or lightly blend in a food processor!. Heat in a sauce pan and add more barbeque sauce for consistency!. If you like you can add chopped onion and green pepper for more taste!. Cook until hot or the onion and green pepper has softened!. Serve on hamburger or hot dog buns!.

What a great leftover meal, happy cooking!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make Cajun seasoning: mix together cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme!. Top potato with butter and/or sour cream, and sprinkle on the cajun seasoning and a pinch more spice!.

Baked Potato Salad

Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the potatoes as if you were going to make lumpy mashed potatoes!.
Peel the onion, and finely dice!. Since this potato salad texture is much smoother than most, there should be no big chunks of any of the vegetables!.
Clean and finely dice the celery and green pepper!. Chop the pickle into small pieces, as well!.
Add all the diced vegetables to the mashed potato mixture, and blend them together with the fork or spoon!. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper!. Add a teaspoon of fresh, fine chopped dill, or 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill weed!. Add 1/2 teaspoon of mustard!.
The moisture content of the potatoes varies by location and season, so no specific amount of mayonnaise is suggested!. Start by adding 1/3 cup, stirring it in, until your desired taste and texture has been reached!. Chill before serving!.
