About a month ago, I FaceTimed with Seal for two hours for a New York Times profile. We had a wide-ranging conversation that ran the gamut from his social media habits to his thoughts on the pandemic. But one thing that didn’t make the final cut of the article is the Grammy winner’s signature baked potato recipe, which he relayed to me in extensive detail. While I haven’t tested it out for myself, I must admit, it does sound pretty tasty.
