I love preparing this recipe; it's almost like a ritual! :) Preparation and cooking times are close guesstimates. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best baked potatoes, select medium-sized potatoes of a baking variety, such as Russets or Yukon Golds. These potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and soft when baked.
- Scrub the potatoes well: Before baking, scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Prick the potatoes: Use a fork to prick the potatoes all over. This will allow steam to escape during baking and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
- Rub the potatoes with oil: Rubbing the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter will help them crisp up and brown in the oven. You can also sprinkle them with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking the potatoes. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes are done baking when they are tender when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before cutting them open. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Baked potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them simple with butter and salt, or loaded with cheese, bacon, and sour cream, there's a baked potato recipe out there for everyone.
