Not sure that it would work for discs. I just stab each potato about eight times with a fork (prevents possible explosion), wrap each in a wet paper towel, and zap the lot for 6-10 minutes, depending upon total mass.1 -
This is how you enjoy em'; peel em', fill the pot with water till you're just covering them (depending how many you're boiling of course, I'm assuming just a portion), add 2 tablespoons of Oil (preferably Extra Virgin Olive Oil), and finally a very generous sprinkle of salt. The aim is to cook them so the potatoes soak up all the water so no draining is needed. Takes about 35 mins or just a tad more. They're divine I tell ya.0

I'm mostly Scottish/Irish. One does not simply peel a potato. I tend to eat mine like an apple (just pick it up and bite), though baked, obviously. Raw potatoes are a taste that even I can't acquire.

Nah, I'm a creature of habit, and function best in extremes. My eating is borderline robotic in nature. I feed the machine, not an inner child or emotion that probably never really existed anyway.0 -

Ha. This is the Scottish conflict. I peel my potatoes. Boiled tatties (never my favourite, my mum bought cheap waxy potatoes, never have worked out what they're good for) or roast tatties par boiled before throwing in the oven with fat. Oh and mashed potatoes have to be peeled. And chips/fries. Lots of reasons to peel!
I didn't have a "proper" baked potato at home ever I don't think. Done in the microwave mostly. But then my mother was particularly crap at parenting so.......0 -

Potatoes have a bad reputation because of their glycemic index. I eat them with herb quark or fried eggs. Very filling together with protein.0

Honestly, I find them absurdly filling without anything else. I just microwave bake, and eat it with my hands. Seriously, putting in 500 kcals of plain potato at once can be a challenge.0
