I dont know how to bake a potato. How do I do it?

 

[Ms. Diana]

Haha! I can't do that either! LOL

I can't use the microwave. I'll have veggies in there, lol.

How do I do it in the oven? Poke holes in it? Wrap it in foil? Temp? Time?

I am 30 years old and I have never made baked potatoes.

*Make sure you test them for doneness, don't go strictly by cooking time.

I have also baked mine on a bed of kosher salt. It really pulls the moisture from the potato and makes them extra dry and fluffy.

THANK YOU! Perfect. And good to know about the eyes. I never knew they could be toxic.

Put a potato in the microwave and push the button marked "potato".

Dear God seriously?!?!?!? Your poor, poor husband.

I know, right? Good thing I'm awesome at other stuff... Like looking awesome.

I made them according to the directions posted. They looked awesome. *Almost* as awesome as me. But he got home and wasn't hungry. And neither was I. So, we will have them tomorrow.

I do the microwave, too.

Truly, I like them better than in the oven. I've never gotten them perfect in the "real" oven. I always dry them out.

I truly thought it was a joke and replied about boiling an egg. So, how was the potato adventure?
