Our friend Sheila has a dear friend that she sees on the weekends that she
affectionately calls "Mr. Friday night" , his name is Richard. Sheila told
us about his culinary prowess and his specialty of the following most
exceptional baked potatoes. James and I made these and enjoyed them very
much.
We discussed what to call them for the What What What website. We thought
about naming the recipe "Mr. Friday night potatoes" or "Potatoes ala Dick".
James finally came up with the name "Dick Taters". The name stuck! Sheila
and Dick agreed.
