This is not an experiment. It is the tried and true way to bake a potato. I believe Brad the Terrible will get a kick out of it.
Recipe: Impale potato with spike. Rub with oil. Sprinkle salt in its wounds. Toss in red-hot oven until it cries for mercy. Devour.
I really hate potatoes.
Brad says
Does it actually cry for mercy? That would be COOL! They say that lobsters make noises when you drop them in the boiling water, but I don’t like lobster, so I’ve never tried it.
Lloyd says
Funny, I haven’t tried it for exactly the opposite reason.
Brady G. says
Alright, this post convinced me to be a first time poster on the lloydandlauren site. I had to do more research on the nail in the coffin -- oh wait that is what Brad does, I mean nail in the potato. I found this link that explains it all.
Peggy says
Thanks Brady! I’ve never heard of this method for baked potatoes. I must try it at once. To Home Depot right after school.
Lauren says
I think this might also be the best way to cook Brad.
Peggy says
Yay for Lauren for taking care of the undead potato!!
So does this qualify you as a Vampire Slayer or at minimum a Chupacabra Destroyer?
Karen says
I ran across your blog a few days ago, and now I know it was meant to be. I never get my potatos in the oven soon enough (big family problem) and now I can cook them in 30 mins. Yikes! I’m buying me some spikes!
Annette says
Is this the plan for next Wednesday?
Lauren says
Welcome to Karen and Brady! Potato bakers, unite!
