Behold the Mashed Potato Dream

Potatoes are an awesome vegetable.

No matter how you get them they are always delicious - mashed, baked, peeled, grilled, boiled, or fried. You can basically put potatoes on top of anything or mix it with any food and it's guaranteed to taste fantastic.

Crispers however has taken the use of potatoes to an entirely different level.

They took something that was already satisfying on its own: mashed potatoes and they placed it on top of something else that was equally as satisfying: flat bread.

This combination creates the "Loaded Potato Flat Bread" only available at Crispers. Here's what the flatbread is comprised of: garlic mashed potatoes, crispy bacon and mixed cheeses piled high on a wheat flatbread that’s baked, drizzled with sour cream and garnished with green onions. It comes with a side of sour cream and green onion dipping sauce.

Traditionally speaking I'm not a real big flatbread person, so I almost didn't try this bad boy. However, my wife put it into perspective for me that sounded something like this, "Danny, it's a mashed up baked potato stacked on bread...and you're fat, how is it possible that you won't like this?"

Guess what? She was right (as I've come to find most "wives" are).

The Loaded Potato Flatbread comes out on a big plate and is cut into triangles. On top of the flatbread there is about 1 inch of garlic mash potatoes and all of the fixings (bacon, cheese, etc) are mixed and melted in to the mash potatoes. The sour cream and green onion dipping sauce on the side completes this potato fantasy for the ultimate in taste satisfaction.

You know how good potato skins are because they have all the baked potato guts jammed inside? That's exactly how the flatbread is....only 16 times better.

Every single bite was like the "best part" of a baked potato perfectly spread out over a crispy flatbread. This potato treat is the ideal meal for a cold winter day or any day of the year when you're in the mood to eat the most amazing potato creation on earth.

Go get one.

  1. I don't know about this one. It all sounds like carbohydrate-and-starch overload to me. I've gone to Crispers only a couple of times. I could say that actually liked their food in the few visits I've made. They have a different take on normal dishes. If not that, they have some kind of twist to it. I'm not sure if the mashed potato and flat bread combo would be a hit because of the fact that people now are so conscious of their calorie intake. I'm more than sure that it tastes heavenly though.

  2. @curioustastebuds - I agree it's probably safer to never know the calorie intake if you're going to eat the Loaded Potato Flat Bread
