The score·From then
Baked potato night
The simplest night we still come back to.
The simplest night we still come back to.
The first night we stopped trying to make dinner interesting and just made dinner.
One plate
loaded, extra butter
The other
salt, sour cream, chives if we have them

About this much
Adjust until it feels right.
- Two big potatoes, scrubbed
- Oil and salt on the skins
- Butter, sour cream, cheese — the usual suspects
- Chives or green onion if they are in the drawer
- Leftover chicken or bacon, only if it is already made
Play it
A suggestion, not a command.
- 01Oil and salt the skins. Fork them. Hot oven, a long time.
- 02They are done when the skins feel like paper and the insides give.
- 03Split them open so the steam escapes. Butter while they can still take it.
- 04Each plate gets dressed by the person who will eat it.
- 05Eat the skin. That is half the point.
