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, joining the restaurant’s other location in Paris, Las Vegas, one standout item on the menu is a spud-centered side dish — “Martha’s Smashed Baked Potato,” which is smashed tableside with crème fraîche, chives and bacon lardons.
While the plain version of the potato rings in at $19.99, the toniest version of the tater — which includes Golden Ossetra Caviar and sour cream — adds 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 team looked at The Bedford menu and saw the pricey, 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 came out with it on a cart, then applied the standard toppings before finishing 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 town, as The Caviar Kaspia at The Mark on Madison Ave in NYC boasts an even more expensive spud.
A baked potato topped with caviar is a pricey dish at the luxe establishment, although just how pricey depends on the type of caviar you order.
They include 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 quantities. While they start at an arguably reasonable $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).
