Ok I tried this and it was a HUGE hit!

Main recommendations: Season the dough AND season the filling. Also, make smaller loafs, about the size of a spatula head, for easy flipping!

Here’s how they look! Recipe below (doubled bc I have a big family).

Loaded Potato Loafs

• Poke holes in and boil 6 large potatoes until soft
• Peel potatoes (do this after boiling to retain nutrients and get the texture needed for the dough)
• Mash into a smooth puree
• Add 4 tablespoons of melted butter
• Add 10 tablespoons of flour
• Add a bit of pepper and a good amount of garlic salt
• Mix until it forms a soft dough
• Lay out plastic wrap and grease with a little oil
• Place 1/8 of the dough into the plastic wrap and flatten it into a round shape
• Add shredded cheese, shredded chicken, bacon bits, more garlic salt, chives, and Italian seasoning.
• Grab the plastic wrap and use it to fold each edge of the dough over, starting with parallel ends. Make sure the dough is sealed all over and doesn’t break. It should be about the size of a spatula head for easy flipping.
• Airfry two at a time. Fry one side at 450 degrees for 7 minutes
• Flip with spatula and airfry other side for another 7 minutes
• ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE EATING

Couple of notes:

• Season the shit outta this thang
• Like it’s actually fucking crazy that neither cook in the video mentions seasoning 🤨
• Don’t overstuff with fillings if you’re frying in oil bc it might lose structural integrity and fall apart on the flip
• I filled mine with just cheese and hot dog bits (it’s what was immediately available and I’m lazy) and topped it with some ketchup + mustard to go with the hot dog theme
• It was bomb as fuck chef kiss 😚👌💋
• I’ll definitely be making again and trying new fillings; this recipe is pretty much endlessly customizable

Did these. Albeit at a smaller size:

Must admit- you pair these with ANY comfort food, and you’re set. Was amazing with a pork loin potroast and gravy to just slather over them.

Reblogging this again cause I'm getting a lot of people in my notes wanting to make them but not knowing how

Basic principles of cloth texture from observation.

Typed up my notes in case they might prove useful to someone

AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho I’ve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Overall its a very good use of scraps if you’ve accumulated a lot and don’t know what to do with them 👍👍

@cutesiewooren new shape!!?
