Resin baked potatoes are a South Carolina Low Country specialty, and I
remember them from my childhood visits to Murrells Inlet, but no matter
how hard I search on the internet, I can't find a way to make them. I
have found a couple of old news articles which mention something about a
worker accidentally dropping a potato in pine resin which was being
boiled to make turpentine, but this doesn't sound very safe.
Has anyone else had resin baked potatoes or know how I can make them at
home?

Thank you so much for any help you can offer me,
Heather
