 qualities of a well-boiled potato? a well-baked potato? How may 

 baked potatoes be kept from becoming soggy if they are not used 

 immediately? Should the skin of a baked potato be eaten? Has a 

 potato boiled in its skin a higher nutritive value than one which is 

 pared or scraped before it is boiled?
