Talk:Baked potato

message: Hi: does anyone know why someone on a restricted diet is told to eat only baked potatoes, but not to eat the skin it is baked in.  I have searched many sites and cannot find a solution.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

message: The claim that most vitamins, minerals etc. are under the skin is probably a misconception stemming from mixup with other items such as apples See thisStraight Dope article for an example. --Sarefo (talk) 20:47, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Quote - Despite the popular notion, the majority of nutrients are not found in the skin, but in the potato itself. Nonetheless, leaving the skin on the potatoes retains all the nutrients, the fiber in the skin and makes potatoes easier to prepare. From Washington State Potato Commission. Based on this I guess like you suggest there is some misconception about the skin. Geotek (talk) 23:43, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

message: for describing what a microwaved potato might do. .burst is the most apt description.
look in a dictionary and stop the edit war please. AAFTS (talk) 11:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Burst (verb) a. To come open or fly apart suddenly or violently, especially from internal pressure. b. To explode." That unpricked potatoes explode in microwaves is a myth. Potatoes simply do not hold that kind of pressure. They can, however, split or rupture - a far less violent process than "bursting." GwenChan 13:19, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lose Idaho 

message: The caption states:
Hollywood star Lillian Russell shows off the difference between the railroad's large potatoes (top) and the common varieties (bottom) in this promotional postcard."
But if you look closely at the photo, I contend that the items in the top are bags of potatoes not LARGE POTATOES.  They are not shaped like potatoes and you can the where the seam is in some bags.  I don't know where that leaves the photo but I would welcome additional opinions to see if I may be right.  If not, well, I still think I"m right.
Thanks

replies: text: I agree completely.  The original eBay auction the image was taken from mentions nothing about two sizes of potatoes.  Those are sacks of potatoes in the background. The image goes well with the "Idaho" section, but the caption needs correction. (this refers to the Lillian Russell postcard image) Huw Powell (talk) 20:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question top right photo interpretation 

message: I feel the section regarding Sweden should be removed or rewritten. As a Swede, I can point out that while baked potatoes are not unheard of in Sweden, they are far from common, much less so "very popular". Further, few restaurants serve baked potatoes, and in those few places it is served as a side dish. Potatoes in Sweden are served almost exclusively boiled.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.255.74.207 (talk) 16:15, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Baked potatoes in Sweden 

message: Despite the popular misconception that potatoes are fattening, baked potatoes can be used as part of a healthy diet.[3]
In actual reality, such dense short carbohydrates are the cause of the intestinal inflammation that causes obesity, including having any problems with fat in the first place: “Comparison with ancestral diets suggests dense acellular carbohydrates promote an inflammatory microbiota, and may be the primary dietary cause of leptin resistance and obesity”
Whoever wrote that line seems to live behind the moon (of ignorance) since the early 60s, or works for a certain “lobby”, well-known for its sock-puppets.
The reference is fake, by the way. The book itself does not offer anything close to a credible source.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: * What I think should be changed: The photo labelled as a "Jacket potato with a vegetable gravy, United Kingdom" should be either removed or replaced.
* Why it should be changed: It doesn't depict anything that someone in the United Kingdom would ever purchase
* References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): The article itself cites normal fillings "Common jacket potato fillings (or "toppings") in the United Kingdom include grated cheddar cheese, baked beans, tuna mayonnaise, chili con carne and chicken and bacon."  Note the distinct lack of whatever is supposed to be depicted in that photo.
