Crazy Fluffy Baked Potatoes Recipe

How to make it

---

• Heat oven. The temperature can vary depending on your time frame and what else may be baking in the oven at the same time with the potatoes (see chart at the end for temperatures and times). With the tines of a fork, poke each potato several times in different spots all over to allow moisture to escape for a drier interior. If you like crisp skin, do nothing else to the potato. If you like softer, more pliable skin, rub the skin lightly with a little olive oil or butter before baking (not so much it’s dripping, though, just to coat). This will also add some flavor. Bake the potatoes right on the oven rack. To test for doneness, squeeze the potatoes with an oven mitt or towel to protect your hand. When they give slightly and feel soft, they’re done. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. If left to sit, baked potatoes can quickly go limp. To serve, massage each potato before cutting it to make it fluffier still, then slit the top lengthwise and push on both ends to plump the flesh. Season to taste with salt and pepper and top with butter and/or sour cream, if desired.
• Temperature Time
• 325 degrees 1 hour, 30 mins.
• 350 degrees 1 hour, 15 mins.
• 375 degrees 1 hour
• 400 degrees 45-50 mins.
• 425 degrees 40-45 mins.
• Note: Even one potato works well with the above baking method! I bake the potatoes on a piece of parchment paper in case they ooze (which they sometimes do) and because I'm too lazy to clean the oven racks. Use the times listed as guidelines more than as exact baking times.
