Is this potato safe?!
I wrapped 2 small potatoes in aluminum foil and put them in the oven around!.!.!.!. 4pm and forgot about them!. I went down to the kitchen a few minutes ago (it's 9 pm now) and someone had turned the oven off but the potatoes were still sitting in there wrapped in the foil!. Can I still eat them!? I heard that if you leave baked potatoes wrapped in foil at room temperature (or in my case, turned off oven temperature) it can create botulism bacteria!. Do you think my potatoes were sitting in the foil long enough (about 5 hours) to make me sick!? Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should be fine unless you've never been exposed to that kind of bacteria before!. I drank tap water in Thailand that made me crap blood and ate meat on a stick in Korea that made me crap my pants before I walked a hundred yards!. Nothing fazes me now!. I'd eat that potato even if it was sitting there for days!. I think you better try it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
take the taters out of the foil and bake again til hot!.
that'll ensure that any growth has been terminated!.
they're fine, just reheat them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
