Don't listen to him! As little as two days allows the starches to settle too much and de-stretch! I don't believe he rests his potatoes that long, or maybe he can get away with it because of his magnificent awl!!!<br /><br />Well, look over your shoulder Mr. baked potato master, I have a bead on a sub-saharan African awl that may be nearly as old as yours!
