Notes
Optional: Freeze potatoes by leaving them on the sheet pan in the freezer for about 1.5 hours. Once the outside is solid, place them into gallon Ziploc bags. They will freeze well for 6-8 weeks in a sealed Ziploc in the freezer.
To cook, bake the potatoes at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes if frozen, or 20 minutes if not frozen.
