The baked potato has been around for quite a while, same with hamburgers. For some reason I've never thought to put these two things together! Until right now!
Just think of a perfect potato skin, with gooey cheese, salty bacon, sour cream and fancify it with some chopped chives! Now slap a juicy beef burger in the middle and you've got the latest and greatest bar snack ever created! Cut out the burger and have a gluten-free healthy option!
