Part 1: The Front Page Feature – Roast Prime Rib with a Newspaper Crunch
Ingredients:
1 prime rib roast (5–7 lbs, bone-in for flavor)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Fresh herbs: rosemary, thyme, and sage
Optional: horseradish sauce for serving
Instructions:
Prep the Roast Like a Breaking Story:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Pat your prime rib dry and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Think of this as the editorial meeting—the meat is getting ready for its headline moment.
Season Generously:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub all over the roast, ensuring each inch gets equal attention—no one likes a half-hearted front-page article.
Roast to Perfection:
Place the roast bone-side down on a roasting rack. Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to create a crust worthy of the front page. Reduce heat to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting 1–1.5 hours for medium-rare (internal temperature 130–135°F).
Rest Before Carving:
Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil for 20–30 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, making every cut juicy and flavorful. Serve with a side of horseradish sauce for that extra punch of drama.
Pro Tip: Want the “extra extra” effect? Sprinkle a tiny pinch of edible gold dust over the roast for that front-page dazzle.

Bake the Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on oven rack 45–50 minutes until tender.
Scoop & Season:
Let cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer to maintain structure. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Load ‘Em Up:
Mix scooped potato flesh with cheese, bacon, and green onions. Refill the skins and top with a little extra cheddar.
