Baked to Perfection

As a kid one of my favorite days was Sunday because we had Baked Potatoes for dinner that day. My sister never ate the potato skins so I got to eat them. I'd drop a couple of butter pats into each half and sprinkle on the black pepper liberally. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm was that a quick ride to heaven or what.

Baked Potato Cooking Tip 

Cooking a Baked Potato is as easy as throwing it in the microwave but for the best flavor I recommend baking it in the oven for 60 to 90 minutes at 190 degrees or higher.

A Baked Potato from the oven will have the perfect slightly crunchy skin and a fluffy filling inside. Of course there are many ways to cook it and I have added a number of videos further down on the page to highlight some of the different approaches. ENJOY
