I sometimes do not have time to get home and put a potato in the oven for my hubby.

His favorite thing to go with his dinner is a baked potato

I see farmhouse makes frozen baked potatoes but they are located in the UK

Does anyone like oreida sell frozen baked potatoes in a bag at the store?

Thanks

I know you can buy frozen twice-baked potatoes. Baking a potato in the microwave is so fast and easy, why would frozen baked ones make any difference?

The ones in the UK are made by McCain which has its US corporate office near me (and one of my sons works there), so I'll try to find out if they are planning to launch this in the US. I'm betting they are.

My husband hates them microwaved. If I make one like that for him he refuses to eat it. He is a pain in the butt

They are such a huge success in the UK, so that's why I'm betting McCain will market them here too. Tell your husband to sit tight and be patient. If son Jeremy knows any inside information, I will tell you. ;)

Thanks! You are a dear!

Frozen baked potatoes are a special process. If you try it at home, it won't work, say two or three in foil and freezing them.The potato iis reduced to mush in the freezer.

This calls for doing a few ahead in foil and putting them in the fridge.

Quite frankly I wouldn't put up with that, working and all. What is he doing, sitting on hs butt?

He is going away this week and I want ot make a lot of "easy" meals for when he comes home I can just toss them in the oven or microwave instead of cooking in 95 degree weather for him
I work in between his hours cleaning houses.
I won't put up with it much longer. In the fall or winter I am moving out.

He is picky too. I made "foiled-baked" potatoes before and he hated it.
I usually put a potato in the oven and pick him up from work but lately I do not make it home in time to do so. I do not care if he hates it. From now on I will bake them at night and HE can heat them up in the oven when we get home. I make him fry his own meat now so why not potatoes too.
He will have to get use to it when I leave him LOL

Honestly if he did not know how some were made he would not know the difference. Microwave, real over, in foil, please, he sounds like he is looking for a reason to fuss.

And if he thinks putting a potato in the oven is too much work, he has been spoiled way too much.

I agree whole-heartily!!
He is not just fussy but no one in our house can do anything right but him!
I am so happy I almost have the money I need for my own car and in a few months me and my daughter are out of here!

So why are you giving a flip what he has and what he wants,

Because he still is my hubby and I still have to keep the peace before I do leave him. I do not want too many "fights" before "I plan to leave"

Nope some are cooked in the oven like french fries. They are made in the UK

Well anyway when I do leave he may end up microwaving them anyway because hunger may take over LOL

So tell him to make his own d ":()-d potato. Sounds awfully spoiled to me.My wife would smile and serve me Idaho instant potatoes -garlic and butter -they are fab!

If I did that I would have some serious problems.

Boy, who knew potatoes could be so problematic?

How about he learn to make his own?

I'm wondering if you could bake some potatoes ahead, using McCain's method (ask me), then refrigerate until wanted, pop them into a hmmmm 375-degree hot oven for ten minutes or so to reheat and crisp the skins.
