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.

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.
Funny, I haven’t tried it for exactly the opposite reason.
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.
Thanks Brady! I’ve never heard of this method for baked potatoes. I must try it at once. To Home Depot right after school.
I think this might also be the best way to cook Brad.
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?
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!
Is this the plan for next Wednesday?
