    Why would you want to peel the potatos? That's one of the best parts!! Admittedly, I grew up with Mom peeling the potatos before boiling them, but these days we just leave them on.

    Yummy baked potatoes

    Mashed potatoes! I love a great baked potato, but it's mashed potatoes on Christmas. Clive Davis of the NY Times had the best recipe for baked potatoes.

    Heat oven to 450 degrees (adjusted for altitude here)
    Coat potatoes with olive oil
    Coat oiled potatoes with kosher salt
    Poke a few holes (just a few) in skin with a fork, so they don't explode
    Bake for one hour, turning down the oven to 375 for the last 15 minutes.

    I oftn forget the last step, but it doesn't matter much. You get fluffy insides with a delicious, crispy, tastey skin. You can tell when they're done when you can pinch them and they're soft.

    You may have to turn down the oven to 425 degrees for the first 45 minutes if you don't live in high desert like me.
