"Naked Bakers" - It's NOT What You're Thinking Don't worry - this is a family friendly blog and rest assured I was fully clad while baking these potatoes. Recently I have seen & heard of dietary studies showing that potato skins are actually toxic. Not only are most of the pesticides stored in the skins (that is if you are not using organic potatoes) but the skins also contain toxins like "glycoalkaloids." There are 2 "glycoalkaloids" that are most prevalent in the skins - they are "alpha-solanine" and "alpha-chocanine." I was always raised with the philosophy that the skins are the most nutritious part of the potato - I'm still not sure which side I believe - the verdict is still out.
In the mean time my husband came up with this brilliant idea - he calls them "NAKED BAKERS" - He's really been the genius this year with the idea of planting potatoes in a compost pile (see link below) and now these!
Simply peel and wash the potato - place in a preheated 375 degree or 400 degree oven and bake until done. They will look like the picture below when they are done baking - they do have a crispiness on the outside even without the skin - Now I actually prefer the "naked bakers" to regular baked potatoes.
ENJOY!!
