Can I bake spuds really slowly?
Well, can I? :confused: Normally I'd just whack 'em in for about 1½ hours at about 220°C. I'm doing about 8 medium spuds. If I wanted them to be ready for about half-time in the England v Wales game this afternoon (about 4.40pm), could I put them in now at a much lower temperature? If so, how low? I'm just wondering…
