Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

4 oz black beans, soaked
1 each onion, chopped
2 each garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
