Baked Potato: Cooking Instructions, Please
 

For no good reason, I decided to pick up some potatoes and have a baked one with my dinner tonight. However, I don't ever remember making one before. Usually, I would just get a bag of steak fries.

So, how do you cook a baked potato? I, of course, did a google search. Tonight, I'll be cooking at 425 degrees for about 50 minutes. It'll just be a simple potato- no fancy fixins.

So there's really no question and this was just an excuse to post about you making a baked potato and posting some hot chick pictures?

Keep it up! More of the first chick, please!

For those on the go, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for about 10 minutes for a medium-sized spud.

It came out meh.

I think I'll go back to steak fries when I want some starch.

Some recipes say to wrap it in foil. It comes much better if you cook them right on the rack. Enjoy with Salsa Sour Cream

You might need a metal rod thingy to stick in the middle of the potato so the middle gets cooked enough.

I give them 75 minutes. I imagine they weren't properly cooked through after just 50.

Didn't feel like making a whole new thread, but anyone have any good quick sides or dishes to make with potatoes? For example breakfast hashbrowns? I can't seem to ever make them as good as any breakfast restaurants, then again i suck at cooking.

I'd rub a tiny bit of of olive oil on em, then a good amount of coarse salt. Then simply poke em with a fork a few times and throw em on the oven rack - no wrapping required. I'm not sure about times... an hour, maybe a bit more, for a good sized spud.

The microwave trick mentioned earlier is good for quick baked spuds on the go.

Put potato in oven at 450. Go on vaction, when you get back it might be done.
