  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the potatoes: Use a fork to prick the potatoes all over. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Cook the potatoes until tender: Depending on the size of the potatoes, it will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour to cook them. You can check if they are done by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done.
