I'm the gay aunt

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

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 😚👌💋

got told other people would like having a look-see at this, so!

The Don Bluth Studios Animation Archive was donated to Savannah College of Art and Design in 2005. The collection includes all aspects of the animation production pipeline, including concept art, color models, animation cels, animation drawings, story sketches, and other materials created by Don Bluth Productions and later iterations of this company. Also included in the collection are administrative files, legal documents, musical scores, scripts, and publicity-related materials.

The archive is HUGE. While the library itself isn't open to the public, what's been digitized is available for anyone to look through. If you're interested in the work of Don Bluth's studio or just animation history in general, I 100% recommend taking some time to look around.

i’ve been thinking about this video nonstop since the first time i saw it

Frankenstein (there are better ways to make friends than to literally make them)

Dracula (a real estate lawyer's trip to Romania goes... poorly.)

The Cage (short- only 15 minutes or so- and very weird/experimental/about insects)

Giselle (classic ghost story, very traditional, doesn't get really spooky until the second act)

Mayerling (more tragedy than horror but very seasonally appropriate) (if you're gonna watch one thing on this list make it the bedroom pas de deux from this, I beg of you, it's beautiful)

The Rite of Spring (did you know this is about human sacrifice?)
