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.

1 extra virgin olive oil
10 oz can tomatoes with liquid
1 each chopped tomato
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoon water

Put in a colander & set aside for 4 hours. Rinse well & drain. Heat oil in skillet & fry eggplant slices over a high heat till they are golden brown on all sides. Drain. Pour off all but 1 tb olive oil. Mash tomatoes with a fork & put into skillet. Simmer, stirring often, 5 to 10 minutes, until they form a thin sauce. Blend in tomato paste & water. Cook 1 minute. Stir in garlic & vinegar & remove from heat. Arrange eggplant slices on a serving dish & pour over sauce. Serve warm as part of a buffet. Ayla Esen Algar, "The Complete Book of Turkish Cooking"
