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.

fruits, pies

2 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoon butter; chilled
2 tablespoon shortening; chilled
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup almonds; sliced
1 lemon
9 peaches; about 3 pounds
3 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoon dry bread crumbs

Combine remaining cup of flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 ts. salt, and 1/4 ts. nutmeg. Cut in remaining 6 tb. of butter until crumbly. Stir in almonds. Chill. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out chilled pie pastry to fit a 9" pie pan. Fit pastry into pan. Trim and flute edges. Chill. Heat oven to 475. Grate 1 ts. of lemon zest from the lemon and squeeze 1 tb. of juice. Peel peaches and slice. Combine with remaining 2/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 1/2 ts nutmeg, lemon zest and juice, cornstarch and almond extract. Sprinkle bread crumbs over bottom of pie shell and fill with peach mixture. Sprinkle almond crumb mixture on top. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350. Continue baking until top is browned and fruit juices are bubbling, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
