Every once in a while, I'll have a leftover baked potato and I refuse to waste it. This is how I used the last one and it was delicious! I cut it up, fried it with some shallots, infused it with some truffle flavor via truffle salt and oil, threw in some bacon, melted Parm over the top and sprinkled it with fresh chives. It looked pretty, tasted great, and was quick and easy. A winner!
