Pretty exciting to know that Potatoes are a good choice for a healthy lifestyle.

I am focusing on baked potatoes today. They are a staple in my diet and I have officially found the easiest way to bake a bunch at one time and use them for all 3 meals.

I am not a fan of microwave baked potatoes. SOme people are and if that’s the case make them that way. You can also make them in the oven if you do this make several at the same time. Slice in half poke inside and out sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper slide back together and wrap in foil Bake on 375 for 45 to 60 minutes. (Check by poking with a fork.). If you made extra always remove from foil and let cool before refrigerating.

My favorite way to cook baked potatoes is in the crockpot. I wash and poke the out sides, sprinkle with salt and pepper then wrap in foil and put in the crockpot. (No water or anything else is needed) cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Just poke them to see if they are done. They turn out perfect every time. To store remove from foil and let cool store in refrigerator.

Now you have the potatoes all ready here are some ideas for each meal.
