put 2 Idaho Russets in the oven at 420 degrees for 45 min, take them out and foil wrap, 1 in each pocket before you go out. Theyll stay warm for 3-4 hours even in this weather and you can eat em when you like. They used to send us kids out like this back in the 70s trust me.

The truth about potatoes: A nutrient-dense staple, not a fattening culprit
Potatoes have been wrongly labeled as fattening due to their carbohydrate content, but scientific evidence reveals they are nutrient-rich and beneficial for health. They provide energy through resistant starch, improving digestive health and glucose control. Potatoes are also packed with essential vitamins and minerals, aiding overall wellness. As a sustainable crop, they play a vital role in global food security, dispelling myths about their nutritional value.
