Foil-wrapped baked potatoes come out fine.

I'm also a big fan of mashed taters and home-fries. Home fries are a joy, especially if you cook them with a nice big onion and let them cook long enough to get some real caramelization going. Caramelized home fries and onions are glorious. Great side to scrambled eggs, too. Or anything else. Or even by themselves.
