Cooks Notes: Baked Potato

To make a baked potato just wash and dry some potatoes and preheat your oven to 375°
Cut a few slits into the top of the potatoes, this will allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on a baking pan or cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour.

If you choose to bake the potatoes in a microwave then cut a thin wedge lengthwise out of the top of the potato. This is to release steam during baking and to keep the potato from exploding in the microwave. The baking time and settings will vary according to your microwave. It should be around 8 or 9 minutes on high.
