Question:

How long do you cook potatoes in the oven when you want to have a baked potatoe?

Wrap them in foil and bake at what temp? Do i poke holes in them first? How long do i bake them for?

Answer:

First.forget the aluminum foilPreheat your overn to 350°FRub just a thin coating of vegetable oil on themCooking spray works, but just make sure it's just enough to make it wet all around the potatoLightly season with saltThe salt should stick to the oilThen poke with a fork just enough to pierce the skin in a few places.this let's the pressure escapeThen bake at 350° for 1 hourBe sure to test the potatoIt should be soft when squeezed and if you roll it on the counter, you should feel that the skin has seperated from the fleshy part of the potatoI promise you, this will make the best baked potato you've ever hadThey are light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside The skins taste wonderful when cooked like this so make sure you wash the potato well before you beginGood luck.remember, just a light coating of oil.just enough to moisten it all aroundAlso, It is better to slightly overcook a potato than to undercook it With the additional ground meat and cheeses, I would probably modify the recipe to 30 minutes as before, then I would slice lengthwise, add the ingredients and then wrap in foil to finish the last 30 minutesI would add the ingredients at the 30 minute mark so the potato will still be stiff enough to work withI would still stick with the original recipe if you're not stuffing themGood luck.it sounds yummy.
