La buona cucina americana: Baked Potatoes
September 19th, 2008
This week Cherrye Moore, innkeeper estraordinaria and faithful blogger has prepared a favorite American dish that may conquer Calabria. Considering how very popular the potato is in Italy, it has always interested me that they don’t eat them baked and stuffed. Maybe they now will?

It is odd, isn\’t it? Because they\’re so delicious. Last night I made some roast potato wedges to go with a roast. They were delicious (if I do say so myself). Mum-in-law wouldn\’t eat them, because I\’d left the skins on.

LOLOL when I read culinary magazines and they propose something so shocking as potatoes with skins on, the instructions for cleaning look like the instructions for cleaning up a nuclear explosion. What is it about the possibility of a little soil that frightens people who will happily munch down slimy snails? I don’t really want to lick my floors with my tongue, but I would before I would eat some of the critters people like to eat.
Anyway, the tiny ones in Puglia are the only jacket potatoes I have seen in Italy until Cherrye’s.

Potatoes with skins in Italia? NON SI FA! Come on, we\’re talking about people who peel *everything* before eating it….
