re: How do you bake your potato?

I can't believe how many don't eat the skin! What a waste of calories. You're not even getting the vitamins.

I pole holes with fork all around it then rub ours with a little bit of olive oil, put sea salt on it and bake on rack in oven. I don't use tin foil, since I like to bake not steam it. Then just pinch the two ends in towards each other of potato when cooked and it pops open. Nice crispy skin, and soft insides. Usually just use a little butter.

I poke my potatoes & just put em in the oven for like maybe 4-5 min. depending on the size and amount

I agree. I'm not a fan of the skin but I still eat it for the nutrients in them

I agree I even make mashed potatoes with skin on.

Come on over.  
We can eat baked potatoes and do girl stuff like brush our hair and paint our clitorises or something.

I eat the skin on pretty much anything   my favorite part.

Oh, I thought you HAD to cover it in foil.  
I'm trying without foil now.

I thought that for a long time too, because my mom always did it. Then I saw alton do it without foil, and love it.

Mashed potatoes with the skin is the BEST! ♥
I suck at making homemade mashed potatoes though. I somehow manage to smurf it up.   It's never fluffy and it's more potato salad-y.

Idaho? something like that lol.

I have seen the light! Lol.
