[QUOTE=Leiko] I’m told that really goose fat is the best, but I’ve never gotten to try either, so I’ll believe you. We always stuck a nail into the potato- a really big nail that was only a little bit shorter than the potato (for safety’s sake, so the end doesn’t point out.) It insured that the inside was heated more efficiently- I think. We have baked potatoes maybe once every 2 years. [/QUOTE] That would be a Great Seattle Dish. Salmon and Spiked Potato on Cedar Plank. Be an easy and convenient dish for a camp fire. Bury and Space 5the Cedar Planks with nailed potatoes and fish fillets at the appropriate distance from the fire. You’ll probably have to do a plank of potatoes and the fish seperately with the potatoes closer to the fire and started earlier than the fish. ---

That’s a Man’s recipe! Needed: 2planks of wood, a hammer, 1 fish, 4 potatoes, 6 spikes. Nail the potatoes and Fish to the Planks. Bury sticking up and near a fire. Eat 7 hours later. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/steakhouse-style-baked-potato/416075.md?page=1)
