| Wash and clean potatoes. Prick each potato with a fork. Grease each potato with oil. Wrap individually in foil. Bake at 450° directly on wire rack in oven. For smaller potatoes, bake for 1 hour. For larger potatoes, bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When baked, cut in half and fluff pulp with a fork. Serve with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, salt and pepper. NOTE: If you want to speed up the process, you can put the potatoes in the microwave on high for 2 minutes after you prick them and before greasing with oil. This will take about 20-30 minutes off your baking time. |
