When I lived in Santa Cruz back in the early 2000s I lived in a duplex, and my duplex neighbour and I would cook and give away well over three 30lb bags of baked potatoes each Halloween. Bake the potatoes early in the day, cut them open, put in the butter, salt and pepper, then close them up and wrap in tin foil. Kids and teenagers would go out of their way to get a potato from us.

Ah man, you're making me look forward to winter when we can make bonfire potatoes again, by wrapping them in foil with butter and a few flavourings, then putting them into the hot coals for a couple of hours.

I'm in the southern hemisphere and in general I love summer, but those potatoes are a thing of joy.
