Tips:

Choosing the Right Potatoes: Select firm, unblemished potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are green or have sprouts, as these may indicate poor quality or bitterness.
Scrubbing and Piercing: Thoroughly scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Use a fork to pierce the potatoes in several places, which helps them cook more evenly and prevents them from bursting.
Baking Potatoes: For baked potatoes, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Grilling Potatoes: For grilled potatoes, preheat your grill to medium heat. Brush the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the potatoes for 15-20 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
Seasoning and Serving: Once the potatoes are cooked, you can season them with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include butter, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, shredded cheese, or chili. Potatoes can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
