Martha Stewart’s $97 baked potato is shockingly…
Martha Stewart doesn’t do small potatoes.
At the multi-hyphenate’s The Bedford restaurant at Foxwoods Resort Casino, which opened this March in Mashantucket, Connecticut, becoming a member of the restaurant’s other location in Paris, Las Vegas, one standout merchandise on the menu is a spud-centered facet dish — “Martha’s Smashed Baked Potato,” which is smashed tableside with crème fraîche, chives and bacon lardons.
While the plain model of the potato rings in at $19.99, the toniest model of the tater — which incorporates Golden Ossetra Caviar and bitter cream — provides on a whopping $79.99, bringing it to $97.
Jason Boehlke, a Wisconsin-based YouTube creator who tried the dish, told Fox News Digital that when he and his workforce regarded at The Bedford menu and noticed the expensive, spruced-up spud, they just “had to give it a try.”

“When we looked at the menu and saw a $97 baked potato, I don’t know where else you can get one of those,” Boehlke told Fox News Digital.
The Post reached out to The Bedford about the small price discrepancy.
The culinary content creator immediately was enamored by the potato’s presentation, as the server got here out with it on a cart, then utilized the usual toppings before ending it off “with an entire little jar of caviar.”
Though he clarified he would “not usually be into something like that,” the caviar “brought something to that baked potato that I’ve never had before.”
“I loved it so much that I went back there again and got two,” Boehlke continued.
“That’s amazing — it’s actually worth it,” he says in the vid.

“You can substitute caviar for salt,” he also quipped.
The Bedford staple is not the only potato with pizzazz in city, as The Caviar Kaspia at The Mark on Madison Ave in NYC boasts an even more costly spud.
A baked potato topped with caviar is a expensive dish at the luxe institution, although just how expensive relies upon on the sort of caviar you order.

They embody Baeri Selection; Baeri Imperial; Kaluga Reserve; Royal Osciatra; Selection Osciatra; and Golden Osciatra. Guests can also order a Vladivostok Potato (topped with salmon roe) and a Black Truffle Caviar Potato (topped with vegetarian truffle caviar).
Guests can order each of these in 30g, 50g, or 80g portions. While they start at an arguably affordable $40 (for a Vladivostok Potato with 30g of salmon roe), the taters balloon up to an astounding $605 (for a serving of Golden Oscietra at 80g).
