Baked Potatoes - Allergy Free CookBook

Baked potatoes are a restaurant and summer favorite. Some people like them plain or with butter while other people prefer them smothered in a combination of sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, and ham pieces. Baking whole potatoes in the oven usually takes about 1.5 hours. On the grill, they take far longer than the meat and may not fully cook. Microwaved potatoes often end up with a metallic taste. Unless they were previously cooked. Potatoes can be baked whole, sliced, or diced. Sliced or diced potatoes bake in about an hour, and may be covered with a layer of cheese.
