Recently I was looking for some different thrifty ideas for dinner meals, this one my family loves including my husband who is a big eater, "Baked Potato Night". I purchase some baking potatoes on sale, if they are big I plan on one per person the average amount spent is $1.50 to $2.00.
Try boiling them for 5-7 minutes first and then wrapping them in aluminum foil and baking at 400 degrees.
Potatoes soaked in salt water for 20 minutes before baking will bake more rapidly. By Peggy
