Granny, granny, NEVER wrap your baked taters in aluminum foil. Makes the skin soft and soggy. Didn’t you know that the crisp skin is the very best part of baked taters? LOL

The crispy skin is my favorite part of a baked tater too. The most nutritious as well, I hear. Found a good way to get 'em crispy - spread on some oil and salt and take at 425 or 450 or so. yum!

BTW, my experiment with growing taters in the mountains is going well. The plants in the meadow didn't make it, but those on the fringes of it are alive and kicking. I'm having a friend tater-sit them while I'm back in the hot valley, waiting to see if my son makes it into the Air Force or not. It will be one stressful week, waiting! Patience is not my best virtue. (Or even one of them!)

Good luck with the Air Force, it was good to my brother, took a kid, standing on the edge of trouble and trained him for life of work, he is over 70 and still using his Air Force education.

Glad your potatoes are still growing.
