Steps:
- 1. rinse and scrub the potatoes
- 2. quarter each potato, dry each quater with a paper towel to remove excess water
- 3. place the potatoes in a baggie, pour in the oil and old bay seasoning, shake the bag making sure each one is covered in the seasoning, I usually eyball the seasoning, add enough to make sure each quater is coated

- 5. Bake at 425 degrees for about a hour turning to make sure each side is crispy

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato logs because they are starchy and hold their shape well when cooked.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork, but not so long that they become mushy.
- Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add other seasonings to taste. Garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all good options.
- Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities for fillings are endless. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, ham, and vegetables.
- Don't overfill the potato logs: The logs should be filled, but not so much that they burst open when they are baked.
- Bake the potato logs until they are golden brown: The logs should be baked at a high temperature so that they get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Potato logs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a potato log recipe that you'll love.
