D​uring the second world war with shortages of food supplies, people didn’t have enough food to support their families.

T​he only item that was accessible and available to a lot of people was the potato. They cooked them, boiled or fried them, roasted or baked them, used them in soups and stews, some starving people even eat them like you would eat an apple, raw!

In Miami,

my home for over 35 years, I remember there was a shop at the Omni Mall, Downtown Miami, all this place served was baked potatoes in 20 different styles, anything from bacon-chips with cheddar cheese, creamed spinach, or with bolognese sauce, meatballs, with sour cream and chives, over baked with Swiss cheese and ham, etc.
