It seems a ridiculous question until you come to the realization that everybody seems to microwave their potatoes in order to save time.  Once you realize that, then the question of How To Make A Baked Potato does not seem ridiculous anymore. I guess if your mother did not take the time to show you around the kitchen, explain how to cook, use kitchen gadgets, or enjoy sharing food with friends and family, then how to cook baked potatoes would not be something you know off the top of your head.  But rest assured I know how to cook baked potatoes and will share my easy cooking recipe with you.

You can enjoy many dishes with a bake potato.  Has there ever been a Thanksgiving dinner served without a bake potato?  I don’t think so.  The baked potato is a mainstay with every holiday dinner or family get together.  And the baked potato is loved by old and young. 

Oven baked potatoes are the best.  People only want to microwave potatoes because it is faster.  But to get a true baked potato you will want oven baked potatoes.

Baked potatoes cooking in the kitchen reminds me of home and simple times.  I think the perfect baked potato is one that comes loaded with sour cream and bacon.  That is just my preference.  Everybody has their own opinion on the perfect  baked potato.

Cooking baked potatoes is a joy and not a time consuming chore.  In order to cook the perfect baked potato you will need to know how long to cook a baked potato.  We are going to let you know how long to cook a baked potato.

How To Make A Baked Potato

Ingredients

  • Potatoes The ideal baking potato is a Russet or Idaho potato.
  • Enough olive oil to give your potato a rub down

Directions

  1. Wash the potatoes. Leave the skins on.
  2. Take a fork and punch it into the potato a few times
  3. Rub the potato with the olive oil
  4. Preheat oven to 400

  • Place the potato on a cookie sheet and place in oven for 1 hour
  • About 1/2 hour into cooking turn the potato over to prevent browning on one side
