All great ideas, thanks. Wahine had the Jones for a luxe baked potato, so I mounded broken pieces of brisket on top of the usual toppings, and added a few spoonfuls of jus.
It was completely ad hoc. Afterward, I wondered why I’ve never seen any BBQ joint offer a baked potato riff. Lately, I’ve seen more joints not offering brisket plates at all, just brisket sandwiches. The spud riff seems like it’d be an option for stretching scarce BBQ.
Barbecue (pulled pork/beef or chopped brisket) piled on a big baked potato then blanketed with cheese and slipped under the broiler.
The best ones I’ve had were when they warmed the meat in a skillet and letting it get just a little toasty, adding a squirt of barbecue sauce and letting it get a little caramelized.
Here in Austin a brisket topped baked potato has long been popular. Potato and brisket topped with ranch style pinto beans is my fave. That said, my favorite use for leftover brisket is enchiladas, but cheesesteaks are great, too.
You could also heat it in a bulgogi marinade, put it on a bun with a little 1000 island, top it with caramelized kimchi, grilled onions, and melted cheese to hold it together, and top it all with a fried egg and the rest of the bun.
