In improver to having a greater appreciation for the locomote that goes into farming potatoes, I too learned something really practical--the correct agency to fluff a potato! Apparently I'd been doing it all wrong. 

After baking (no foil!), give the Irish Gaelic patato a dainty massage to interruption it upwards a bit, but don't rip the skin. Pierce the hap of the Irish Gaelic patato using a fork inwards a zig zag pattern. Now gently press on the ends. Voila! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 perfectly fluffed potato.
