    It doesn't matter for this type of cooking at a high elevation. Yes I know about water boiling at 7500 ft. but all you have to do is get them to a boil and keep checking for tenderness with a fork. They are a small potato, so won't take long.

    Yes, unfortunately when one is as ugly as me, I learned a long time ago the best way to a man's *heart* and other attributes is through his stomach.

    A little grated cheese is good too for something different ;)

    Shazy, you've changed your hair!

    Hi, woody!

    Are you sure that you mean 7,500 degrees? That's really, really hot!

    Thanks!

    Clough, OP means 7500 ft. above sea level, where it effects heating water up.

    My oven only goes to 500 degrees (electric), pissed me off a little while making my Roast, since I needed to preheat and then turn down, but turned out perfect:)
