Preheat the oven. Rinse and scrub your potatoes, and make sure to cut off any bruises or blemishes. Dry the potato. Use a fork or knife to poke 6-8 holes around the potato (so it doesn't explode due to steam build up!). You may wrap the potato in foil if you like, but it is perfectly fine to bake the potato right on the oven rack- you'll get a crispy skin that way. Put the potatoes on the middle rack in the oven, set the timer. For medium- sized potatoes, bake for:
45 minutes at 400 degrees F.
60 minutes at 350 degrees F.
90 minutes at 325 degrees F.
Potatoes are done if tender when pierced with a fork.
