Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

This is an absolutely no-fuss way to prepare artichokes, yet produces a delicious result. The original Italian recipe on which this is based uses three times the amount of oil specified below, but the lower-fat version works fine. Have ready a basin of acidulated water. Take 4 large artichokes or 8 small ones and prepare them as described above, cutting them into quarters and dropping them into the basin as they are done. Pack the artichoke quarters in a single layer into a open pan. Pour over them enough boiling water to barely cover the artichokes, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and some roughly crushed peppercorns. Boil hard until the water has evaporated, then add the juice of a lemon and stir. Put the artichokes into a serving dish and scatter with chopped parsley. They can be served hot or cold. From "Raw Materials" by Meryl Constance, The Syndey Morning Herald, 10/13/92. Courtesy Mark Herron. Makes 4 servings. Posted by Stephen Ceideberg; October 30 1992.
