Hi All. I've been away from DC but you're still my go-to place for cooking questions.
I'm planning a prime rib dinner with baked potatoes. Since the slow-roasting of the prime rib will hog the oven for a looong time, I need to turn out baked potatoes outside of the oven. I did a bit of web research and found that I can do it several ways:
1) On the microwave which I'm not keen on doing as it can cause fires.
2) In a dutch oven on a stove top. Will need to rest the potatoes on a trivet inside the dutch oven.
3) In a sauce pan on the stove. Boil the potatoes in water until the water boils off and then toss the potatoes around the pan to dry roast.
I'm leaning towards either 2) or 3).
I have two questions:
Which of the above do you think would yield a better result?
Also, how about another way -- would steaming whole potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil work like baking them?
Thank you for your answers!
