To Kasmil, Foil liners bake have a tendency to bake quicker than the regular ones. However, the foil may be more sturdy cause potatoes can be heavy. Pros and cons to each...I think I'm going to use foil and just watch it in the oven, hopefully this comment helped!

This is not a review, but a question... The recipe uses foil cupcake liners, but the picture shows regular liners. Does it make a difference? I wouldn't think so, but just askin'......
