How do you bake a potato in the oven? |
[Edit] |
To bake a potato in the oven i would first wash and dry the baking potato and then pierce the skin several times using a fork back and front next rub a little cooking oil over the potato skin and wrap in cooking foil and place directly onto the oven shelf and cook for about half an hour on 200 degrees after which you should remove the foil and place back into the oven and cook for a further twenty minutes to forty minutes depending on the size of the potato you will know when it is cooked by squeezing the middle slightly if it moves easily it is cooked and if it doesnt move easily it may require additional cooking time when its cooked remove from the oven and cut a cross into the top skin and squeeze the middle of the potato then add butter and serve .
