Default 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.

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.
