baked potato[edit]

An anonymous user (Special:Contributions/98.204.230.250) deleted a sense with the edit summary: I am disputing the use of "baked potato" to mean "an uncooked potato suitable for baking". --Haplology (talk) 02:51, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it's real. I would expect at most you could turn up search results on grocery websites such that when you search for "baked potatoes" it gives you cooking kits and/or microwaveable potatoes wrapped in plastic. But that doesn't mean that those are "baked potatoes", they're at best "baking potatoes". Soap (talk) 04:25, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
I agree with Soap. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:31, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Agree, Tesco has baked potatoes, but they are pre-cooked. Uncooked potatoes for baking are baking potatoes or jacket potatoes. Possibly there is a US/UK difference in usage but Walmart does not verify this either. SpinningSpark 16:19, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
