Obviously a potato farmer would eat the smaller ones that don't make the cut for grocery store bags.
Don't need the oven at all. Depending on the size of the potatoes, just pop one or two and push the potato button on the microwave. Well if you do need to bake a bunch of spuds, then indeed use the oven.Nuke two potatoes wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 5 minutes. This just gets them started.
Then unwrap them and place them on a cookie sheet in a preheated 450 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Less than an hour.

I've been eating nuked spuds since yesterday and they taste fine to me.I know. That was in response to a poster that said they don't like the outcome of a microwaved potato. Using the microwave for 5 minutes prior to oven baking cuts the cooking time in half and you get the same results as oven baking.

ACTUALLY, stop using the word actually when it's uncalled for, it is a retarded excuse for thought... and no, given the same potatoes, the smaller aren't worth more. Are you just plain stupid?Actually, the smaller ones command a higher price.

No oven = no crisp skin = why bother
Everybody doesn't have to have crisp skin.
Microwave is quicker and doesn't overheat my apartment.No oven = no crisp skin = why bother
Found this article while browsing fount it to be really amazing since a potato farmer decided to prove naysayers wrong by consuming nothing but spuds during a few months. Afterwards not only was he still alive and well, but also ended up becoming healthier on top of this. 20 potatoes per day....
Kartoffelpuffer!!!!Also
Potatoes and applesauce. They called it "Himmel und Hoelle" (Heaven and Hell)
Potatoes and fish
I'll try that next timeNuke two potatoes wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 5 minutes. This just gets them started.

When we figured out what happens when primarily sedentary individuals eat a shitload of carbohydrates.I wonder how did the potato get to be considered bad for human health?
I'm largely sedentary and complex carbohydrates are a large part of my diet. I also only weigh ~136 lb.When we figured out what happens when primarily sedentary individuals eat a shitload of carbohydrates.

Could be a lucky metabolism, or lots of others have unlucky ones. If I don't heavily restrict carbs (simple or complex, doesn't matter) I blow up like a balloon at 34. Have for years.Will be 44 next month.
Yes everyone is different. However speaking of carbs, there are lots of cultures worldwide who live on most carbs and don't have the same health issues as we Americans do.Could be a lucky metabolism, or lots of others have unlucky ones.

Most of them also don't sit on ass for ~90% of the day, though that's often as much choice as requirement. It doesn't help that we end up with the bargain basement end of the food chain, not to mention Americans generally seem to have no sense of portion control.Yes everyone is different.

True. I don't if this is just me, but since 2004 I noticed there are far less kids riding bikes everywhere then when I was growing up during the 80's/early 90's. Now it is mostly adults I see with bikes.Most of them also don't sit on ass for ~90% of the day, though that's often as much choice as requirement.

Yeah same, though to be fair when I was younger we were on our bikes cuz there wasn't much to do inside, unless you just wanted to zone out on tv or get hit by your parents (depending on the household). While I played plenty of video games, they didn't quite have the depth/breadth that they do now, so it's pretty easy to basically live off those as your sole entertainment source, if you want. Add in permanent communication channels with friends, and the all the primary purposes of physical activity are pretty well taken care of, aside from that silly/annoying 'work muscles and burn fat' part of it.True.
