Kick up your baked potatoes by using an apple corer to core out the center of the raw potato. Remove the cored out potato and cut the ends off to use as caps to close the holes on the potato. Stuff the cored out potato with your favorite items, such as garlic cloves, applewood bacon, fresh herbs, onions or butter. Use the potato caps to close the potato, wrap in foil, and bake as normal. Enjoy!!! You will never bake them any other way!!!

I live in south Louisiana. Gumbo, Jambalaya & Etouffe are staple meals in my home. I have a tendency of over salting and spicing dishes.
