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!
