I want a baked one. but the two bags I have already don't look as fresh asI want them to be..I mean, Im not throwing them away, because maybe the hubs will eat them, but I want a fresh one.

I will soak it in salt water for a half hour, then I will bake it in the oven at 400 degrees for exactly 60 minutes.

now go!

I already went to the store once today with two kids, not going again.

or AM i?

just duct tape them to the wall and make a quick run to the store ... j/k lol (brings back memories when my ex-dh and I duct taped my 7 yr old to the wall as a joke.  We all wanted to see if the duct tape would hold him up ... it did lol)

is soaking them in salt water the trick to really good tasting baked tators?

Kris- you have no idea! DO IT! It is absolutely the trick. You scrub them first, then poke them with a fork, then mix hot hot water with a bunch of salt, and soak them, then oven at 400 for 60 minutes ( sometimes 70 if there are more than 3 and they are large...

they turn out so crispy and yummy on the outside and soft and yummy on the inside...oh boy.

I am practically ready to start preparing a substandard potato....
