Notes

Expert Tips
  • Use a russet potato. It is the best potato for baking.
  • Poke holes in the potato before baking. Poking holes helps the potato to cook properly inside and out and release steam while cooking.
  • Be sure to rub butter over the outside of the potato. It is the secret to making the MOST delicious baked potatoes.
