I don't scrub unless it visibly looks very dirty. You're going to kill everything cooking it.Of course but if you make at home you have to wash with a potato scrubber or else you're eating dirt.

Also good with a dash of Worcestershire. I use that instead of the salt....The skin is my favorite part. Tons of butter and salt. I'll sometimes empty out the "meat" portion and go right for the skin.
I grew up pulling carrots out of the ground and eating them raw dawg. A little dirt won't hurt you.Of course but if you make at home you have to wash with a potato scrubber or else you're eating dirt.
Baked potatoes are are the low man on the totem pole of potato dishes. Now if it's a twice baked potato we we're talking about...Baked potato’s are terribly overrated. You basically have to smother it in butter and salt just to make it palatable and then add some cheese and sour cream and bacon and chives to actually make it good, making sure to save enough of the good stuff for every bite
having said that the skin is the best part, so if you are going to power through that tasteless starch ball you might as well reward yourself at the end
Agreed. Other than raw, baked has to be the worst possible way to eat a potatoBaked potatoes are are the low man on the totem pole of potato dishes. Now if it's a twice baked potato we we're talking about...
A decent wash should knock off any large clumps of dirt, and cooking it means any germs get killed. Honestly, I taste more dirt whenever I have beets. Awful stuff.Of course but if you make at home you have to wash with a potato scrubber or else you're eating dirt.
They just taste like straight dirt. Horrible, vile things. One of a few foods I absolutely hateA decent wash should knock off any large clumps of dirt, and cooking it means any germs get killed. Honestly, I taste more dirt whenever I have beets. Awful stuff.
Yep. There's no choice for "only if it's the right king of spud".Damn 19-0.
I voted yes but only do about 30% of the time.
If your potatoes are growing in human feces, there is a whole list of questions I'd have for that farmer.I used to just give them a rinse and a hand scrub. Then I got the potato scrubber and those suckers didn't even look like what I was used to eating. The difference in appearance (and taste) between just rinse/hand rub and potato scrubber was eye popping. And it's not just dirt on those tubers, it's animal and human feces. Both kinds together.
I can eat a leftover potato right out of the fridge with nothing on it, skin and all.Baked potato’s are terribly overrated.

I nuke mine as well, I still consider it a baked potato.Nah. I nuke my potatoes. They take to long to cook in an oven. I don't get much out of it taste wise and I don't really care to scrub it down (potatoes are pretty high up there on lists with most pesticides) so I nuke it with the skin on and then peal it off. These are yukon golds I'm talking about which are far superior to russets (your typical baked potato potato).
Baked potatoes are a delivery mechanism for salt, butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, chives. The skin helps hold it all in. Love baked potatoes.Baked potato’s are terribly overrated.

a Russet?!??!?!?!I can eat a leftover potato right out of the fridge with nothing on it, skin and all.
I chop those up, nuke them for short while, and add a bit of butter, plus some sour cream if I have any. Yum.I can eat a leftover potato right out of the fridge with nothing on it, skin and all.
I think you may have slightly bad taste. Russet skins are gross. White potatoes are wonderful.Yep, any kind.a Russet?!??!?!?!
We really should have clarified this in the poll. The type of potato could make huge changes in the numbers. I assumed we were talkin russetsI think you may have slightly bad taste. Russet skins are gross. White potatoes are wonderful.
I do the same. And after baking I broil the thing for a few minutes too to get the skin nice and cooked up.I like to rub the skin in olive oil and sea salt. After cooking has a nice slightly crisp skin that taste delicious.

They're also on our shoes, the ground, and just about anywhere within shouting distance of a toilet. What's your point?Human feces are on every fruit/veg you buy at the supermarket.

I agree that a potato is generally a vehicle. But there isn't a much better one for your combo of add-onsTLEF316 said:And if you're just looking to eat butter/sour cream/bacon bits or whatever other actually decent tasting good you''re using the potato as a vehicle for, there are ALWAYS better options.
it helps them to avoid explodingI've always punched a few holes in the with a fork before throwing it in the oven....is that necessary? Does it help in any way?
