An experimental physicist would want to run two similar potatoes side by side: one covered in aluminum foil and another covered in BLACK anodized aluminum foil.
This reminds me of the analysis that accompanies "pyramid power" examples of the "cookie Jar effect" when cookies last longer under a pyramid shaped cover than when left on an open counter.
Our analysis is so sorely lacking in data points that we would flunk our students for submitting this discussion as their lab experiment?
FYI, microwave cooked potatoes do not have the same texture as oven baked potatoes. Maybe its the moisture retention of foil which keeps oven baked potatoes flakier. I try to NOT serve microwave potatoes to my friends.
