Ok, so you bake one potato...thorow it in for an hour and its done.

But what if you bake 20 potatoes at once?

Is it still an hour?

I know a microwave you have to double the time but an oven works differently...they don't suck up the heat because the oven keeps the temperature constant, right?

Or am i missing something?

Thanks!

Get some metal skewers to stick in them. It will help them cook more evenly which I imagine will be a concern with that many potatoes duking it out in your oven.

I never thought about that! good idea..i guess it evens the heat out?

Have you ever done this? Any problem with it?

make sure you put some space between them also, they wont cook evenly if they are touching. they dont play well together. btw, the bbq will cook them way faster.

I have no experience at all, but I would rotate them during cooking. maybe the outside ones into the middle and middle ones outside.

Have you ever tried to eat that many potatos?

Every day

fatty.

Whatever man, I get my daily dose of starch!

With that much starch, you must poop out preacher's collars...

Would you like me to mail you some shit...I mean collars? :p

Yeppers, all potatoes will be done at the same time. If they are not going to al be eaten at the saqme time wrap them in foil. They stay moist much longer, and will take overcooking much better.
