Recipe Scaling Help

When scaling a recipe for size, there are some components that need to be considered. Scaling may not have a desired result for all recipes. Below are some general tips for sizing or scaling recipes:

Prep Time, Cook Time, and Total Time: The time provided with the recipe will not be scaled with the recipe since time for preparation or cook can vary depending on how far you scale the recipe. Start with the provided cooking time and watch for the desired results you are looking for.
Cooking Temperature: It is best to start with the provided cooking temperature and watch for the desired results you are looking for. If your dish needs to meet a desired cooking temperature, please watch for that as well. As a general rule when cooking two or more dishes in the oven at the same time, allow for more cooking time and raise the temperature by approximately 25 degrees.
Adding Seasonings to taste: Start by adding Òto tasteÓ seasoning in small amounts increasing slowing for best results until you reach your desired amount.
Scaling Exceptions: Scaling will not work for all recipes, baked items requiring yeast, recipes containing a single large item such as a whole chicken, or a delicate pastry recipe may not have a desired result if drastically scaled. Rather than preparing one large pastry for a party, consider making several to the size of the original recipe, this may have a more desired result.

Instructions

Bake whole potatoes in preheated 450-degree oven for one hour; remove potatoes and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Let potatoes rest for 5 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh into large bowl. Reserve potato jackets.
Add butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and cheese to potato in bowl, and whip until creamy with electric hand mixer.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
Gently stir in chives and avocado pieces.
Spoon mixture into halved potato jackets, and bake in 350-degree oven for 20 minutes.
Top each with heaping spoonful of guacamole to serve.
Guacamole: Mash avocado chunks with lime juice in medium bowl. Add cilantro and salt; blend until creamy.

Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado, sometimes called a 40 count or 48 count avocado, averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with traditional corned beef and cabbage for a completely Irish-themed meal, or serve anytime alongside a juicy steak.
