The Potato Bag

Ok, so I decided to make baked potatoes for supper. I went to find my baked potato bag and it took me 10 minutes to locate it! Sometimes the third bedroom turns into an oasis for unclaimed laundry. Sure enough I had laundered it and it never made it back to it's happy home under the microwave. Oh sorry, you are probably like what's a Baked Potato Bag??? well it is pretty cool actually. It is a fabric bag that you can use to do microwave baked potatoes in a flash. You know how if you just put them in there alone they can get wrinkly and dry? This bag is designed to stop that problem. Who has time to actually bake one in the oven anyway?
All you do is select two good baking potatoes (white potatoes are better to bake, red better for mashed), rinse them off, stab a few holes in them (to release pressure when cooking), sprinkle some salt on them, wrap them in paper towels (to keep the bag cleaner longer), stick into to the bag and microwave. Depending on the size and quantity calculates your cook time. If you have two larger potatoes, I would start at 6 minutes, squeeze to see how soft they are and add a minute at a time to finish. When done you should be able to lightly squeeze them or push down and feel it actually squish. Pretty cool eh? Now add all the wonderful topping choices (tonight will be bacon, cheese, and sour cream).
Where do you get one? I swapped a neighbor lady a small Pampered Chef item for it a few years back. Her sister in law made them. You should be able to find them at a craft fair for like 7 bucks. If you are crafty you can make one but I'm not good at describing fabric patterns. Lol.
