Tip from: Laura at Heavenly Homemakers
Here is a great way to bake potatoes. Scrub and stab each potato. Place in a oven proof dish with a lid (stone pan with lid, dutch oven, roasting pan, etc.). Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. That's it! So easy!
This works very well and is much faster and easier than wrapping each potato in foil. I haven't done the research yet, but I have heard that foil is not very healthy to use in cooking. Here's a great way to avoid it!

To peel potatoes quickly, wash and score them. Put them in a pan with enough water to cover them. Bring them to a boil and boil them for 20-30 minutes. Put them in a bowl of ice water and gently twist each ending opposite directions to slip the skins off. This is so much faster than peeling them with a peeler before boiling them.
I just baked 10 lbs. of pototoes in my roasting pan and we had them for dinner and the left overs we shredded up for hashbrowns. Yum! We also cube leftover baked potatoes and freeze them for soup. It works great in soup like Cheesy Vegetable Chowder.
Love Always,
