Surprisingly enough, there are a lot of people out there who can not bake a potato! How does one go through life not being able to create the flaky, carb packed deliciousness that is a baked potato? Here are the basic steps to bake a potato, that you can top with pretty much anything and enjoy! :) (Images courtesy of Google)
There is a ton of dirt and junk that comes on a potato (it does grow in dirt) so make sure and scrub it with a veggie brush, hard sponge or good strong elbow grease.
Step 2: Poke the potato
Flip the potato over several times, poking it with the tines of a fork.
Coat the potato lightly on all sides and sprinkle with salt.
Step 3B: Wrap in foil (instead of coating the potato)
Wrap the potato in foil, completely covering it, without coating it in oil.
Place potatoes directly on rack, either in foil or coated in oil. Bake it the oven on 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on size of potato. Potatoes should be brown and crispy (if oil coated) and soft and squishy on the inside.
