Tips
Choosing the Right Potato
For the best baked potato, choose a large, russet potato. These potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and light when baked.
Pricking the Potato
Before baking, use a fork to poke holes all over the potato. This will allow steam to escape and prevent the potato from exploding in the oven.
Rubbing the Potato with Oil
Rubbing the potato with oil before baking will help to crisp up the skin.
Cooking the Potato
Bake the potato at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 60-75 minutes, or until it is tender when pricked with a fork.
Cooling the Potato
Once the potato is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it open.
Topping the Potato
There are endless possibilities when it comes to topping a baked potato. Some popular toppings include butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, and chili.
Conclusion
