Baked Potato
Cooking Methods
| Method | Temp | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oven-Baked | 400°F (204°C) — up to 425°F for crispier skin | ~1 hr at 400°F (50–60 min at 425°F) | Skip the foil — it traps steam and softens the skin. Poke holes, rub with oil and salt, and bake directly on the rack. |
For peak fluffiness, aim for about 210°F in the center — a bit past a typical "done" internal temp for meat, but that is what fully gelatinizes the starch.
