A bakethrough in tuber technology
The food scientists and food marketers at Farm Fresh Direct LLC, Monte Vista, CO, have really accomplished the impossible this time.
First, they've managed to produce a genuine U.S. No. 1 Idaho (R) Potato... in the state of Colorado.
Second, they've come up with a way to pre-wrap individual potatoes in plastic for microwave cooking, so home cooks don't have to.
I confess I only bought these because they were on sale and the individual labels and plastic wraps looked strange. The first one's been diced and is cooking in a pan on the stove, in total defiance of the preparation instructions. Attached instructions indicate the potato will taste just like an oven-baked potato after 7 to 8 minutes in the nuker. Will test #2 according to specs in the microwave, and report all developments in this journal to invite further peer review.
The creators of this spudly wonder point out that

With today's busy lifestyles, most people don't have time to bake a potato in a traditional oven. They have been cooking potatoes in a microwave for awhile, often with unsatisfactory results.
...
Also, there's less waste:
Express Bake PotatOH!'s are individually wrapped and can be purchased as many or as few as needed.
Ah, the space age.
I bet one of these beauties would taste great with a cool glass of Tang.- jim
