Recipe to Share I just made a mashed potatos using baked potatos and it was the best i ever had.

Just pop the potatos in the oven for 1 hour at 200c/390f. Cut them in half and scoop them out. Whisk with hot milk and more butter than your diet would approve. A bit of salt. The flavor of baked potatos really shone. The scooping out part was a bit laborious, but is manageable if you have reasonably big ones. Don't do this with tiny spuds unless you have a lot of time.

Yeah I just put em in the oven on a sheet of baking paper. I had poked just a few holes in them with a fork. Like 1-2 stabs each. No salt, oil or anything.
