Baked Potatoes


I'm sure you all were wondering what on earth I could reveal to make these potatoes different from any other baked potatoes!

I'll tell you I love potatoes! As Samwise Gamgee says, "Potatoes, mash 'em, boil 'em, stick 'em in a stew." Seriously, you can do soo much with Potatoes! Today I baked mine. However, it's like pulling teeth to have people eat the skins, and I was doing a bit of research (that's fancy for googling) and I learned that the skin's where most of the nutrients are. So a few years back, I was like what could I do to make these things taste delicious? I'll tell yah, it was a stroke of genius what happened next...


First, I took a tub of butter and coated each potato in it. (Now I just spray the aluminum with PAM.) Then, I took garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and I sprinkled the skins with each (PAM helps the spices stick). Then I baked like normal. The outcome was a delectable finish to any potato. Now we don't have to pull those teeth to get anyone to eat their skins. 


Here are some pictures for you to get the idea!


WASH YOUR POTATOES! I can't stress that enough.
Get the spices you'd like to crust your potatoes with!

Lay out your Aluminum
STAB YOUR POTATOES! this is VITAL (that's fancy for important)
Spray your PAM and sprinkle your spices...
Lay your potato down and WRAP that potato tight!

Add your toppings and enjoy!
(I tried to get a good pic of the skin, but it didn't work too well) 

Well tomorrow is Roasted Red Pepper and Tuna Salad...we will see how it goes! Until tomorrow...Fancy it up!

  1. Let me tell you that I can't eat potatoes any other way besides the scrumptious PAM-foil trick! I can't help but eat the whole dang potato. I liked the diced onions on it...it gave it an extra kick...more than the onion powder. :) My last fancy meal...keep me informed!
