How long to I cook Potatoes in the oven?

Question

They are pretty good size. I usually cook them in the microwave, but I would like to try a different way. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

do not wrap in foil,as this effectively traps in steam thus steaming the potatoe not baking it,just place in a 400 degree oven for about an hour for average size potatoes,little longer for bigger size.they should be soft all the way through when pinched or with a knife.

good luck

Answer 2

For large potatoes wrapped in foil, I would suggest 45 min to an hour at 375 degrees.  Check them by sticking a sharp knife in them; you can tell if they are soft enough yet.

Answer 3

If you bake a potato (one larger than your fist) it should take upwards of an hour. A good way to check them is by feel. When they are done, they will have a slight "squish" to them, and they will no longer be hard. Remember to poke holes in them, or they go BOOM.

Answer 4

Wrap them individually in foil and bake them for about an hour at 350

Answer 5

350 F for 45 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes.  45 min for medium, or 1 hour (plus?) for large.

***** PS *****

Pierce 3 or 4 times with a fork after you wash them.  Then bake.

Answer 6

Scrub the potatoes, DO NOT wrap in foil, that only steams the potato.  Place on oven rack at 400.  Check for doneness at one hour.

Answer 7

If you are trying to do roast potatoes, par boil them for around ten minutes, smother them in butter, shove in the oven and cook at a pretty high heat for another twenty minutes. Whilst you are doing this, you can also do carrotts, parsnips and swedes in the same way... yummy....

Answer 8

cook or bake?
