That sounds good to me too. I could do 450 degrees, makes sense.I love baked potatoes but not from the microwave. I think they taste completely different when cooked in the microwave.
My favorite way to cook them is the James Beard method. Sometimes I only cook them for an hour, if I am short on time.
2 large baking potatoes
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Wash the potatoes well and dry thoroughly. Pierce them several times with the tines of a fork.
2. Place potatoes on the center rack of the hot oven and bake for 2 hours.
3. Remove from oven and cut lengthwise and then across the middle, almost through. The shells will be very crisp and thick and will not squeeze easily. Open the potatoes and mash the inside pulp as best you can with a fork.
And like I said, I think I’ll just go ahead and pierce them just to be on the safe side.
