Perfect cooking instructions! I did coat the outsides of the potatoes with some butter then wrapped them in foil.

Great to have recipes like this for those that have never made a baked potato- there's plenty people out there who have not- It takes a lot of power this way and added heat to your kitchen- My mother would always plan to bake something else at the same time- double duty- I pre-cook slightly in the microwave- remember to punch holes! and finish off in the oven- this takes less power and also tastes great unlike potatoes that are solely cooked in a microwave!!!

Very good and easy. I needed to do 25 potatoes for a party so I scrubbed 'em, stabbed 'em, brushed them with melted butter, put on some sea salt, and wrapped individually in foil. Did convection baking at 350 for an hour and a half. Turned the oven to the "warm" setting and let them sit until the party started. Turned out great.

okay people..... try 400 for one hour. pour some kosher salt onto the counter. put some butter in your hands and fondle your potato. then pat the salt with your buttery palm and tap onto sticky potato. wash your hands and set right onto oven rack with tongs and cook for 1 hour. your skin will be crispy and there is absolutely no reason to wait 1.5 hours for a potato, unless you are cooking something else at 350 for an hour and a half. good luck!

I myself have never made a baked potato. Crazy I know. My husband asked for it and I wasn't exactly sure how to do it. Followed this recipe to a T-adding spices before wrapping in aluminum foil. They came out awesome!!! Whole family loved it. We will be doing this recipe again. Thanks again for putting such a simple thing on here for those of us that have never done it before.

Thank you for this 'basic' recipe! Most others don't include how to actually cook it....I agree with a few reviewers to roll the potato in olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder and pepper...delicious skins!

I found it helps to rotate the potatoes every 30 minutes for an even bake. Also I really scrub the skins and we eat the entire potatoe! Yummy recipe!

This was a pretty good potato - next time, I'd cook it a little bit longer at a less temperature. The skin was perfect but the closer we got to the inside, it got harder. Worth another try.

This is a classic you can not go wrong with this. My daughter and I love a good baked potato and this is how we do it. After it is done we usually add a bit of salt/pepper, butter, bacon and green onions. For a nice simple meal add a salad and you are good to go!!

rubbed my potatoes with vegetble oil and spinkled with sea salt before baking. My potatoes were large so it took about 1.25 hours. Perfect with a little salsa and sour cream!

I always insert a metal skewer (or a clean nail) into the middle of the potato and it heats up the potato from the inside as it cooks. This cuts the cooking time down by about 30 percent.

I like to make really big potatoes so I adjust the time in the microwave. But they always turn out great and I recommend them for anyone who wants an easy recipe for making baked potatoes.

A baked potato is always better than microwaved! Although I do already know how to bake a potato, I was looking for different ways to spice it up and knew member reviews often offer that assistance here. Thanks for the seasoning suggestions and the use of Olive Oil to crisp the skin. I always wondered what was used at the restaurants! Based on how few people know how to cook anymore, I think this is a very valid, simple recipe for people who are learning. Please be patient! You may not know the circumstances for their inability to cook and at least they're coming here to try! I was fortunate to have a mom to teach me the basics till I was 15, but after she died, I'm glad to have cooking sites like these to go to for additional help. I quit my career to make sure my kids eat only home-cooked, healthy food. My husband's mom died when he was 16, so we're on our own with no extended family to go to for ideas. Thanks for all of the help and delicious recipes. Your reviews and recipe variations have helped alot and I can honestly say, I am a better cook than my mom was. Thanks!

This is the perfect, old fashioned baked potato directions. I always bake my meatloaf at the same time since it takes the same amount of time, at the same temperature. Then all you have to add is a vegtable or salad and you have your whole meal.

Taking it way back! :-) This is the way to make baked potatoes should you not have a microwave or toaster oven. I would recommend rubbing your potato down w/ butter or olive oil, minced garlic and salt and pepper and maybe even leaving them in the a bit longer than 1.5 hours. Okay recipe, but you got to have nothing but time on your hands and a non-hungry disposition.

These are true baked potatoes. The phono shows a potato wrapped in foil. That makes it a steamed potato, even though cooked in the oven. A nuked potato is just that. Cooked by microwaves. All three are valid ways to cook potatoes, but each will have a flavor different from the other methods of cooking. If you wrap in foil, remember to increase the baking time.
