Baked potatoes?!


Question: Well, 3 baked potatoes have been baking for 45 min. so far. 10 or 15 min. they were at 400 degrees. Then I put them to 375 for the rest of the time. I just check on them and they're very stiff. Are they overcooked of undercooked? Also if they are undercooked they seem like they haven't changed that much.

i always slit them. put a cross shape cut at the top and bottom,rub the skin with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt wrap them in tin foil cook at 200 degrees for about an hour remove foil for last 15 mins for the skin to crisp.

Stick a fork in them. See if the fork goes into the center easily.

You should bake potatos for about an hour at 350, add about 10 minutes for each additional potato. Or you can nuke them.

they are undercooked. when I do them I usually do them at 350 for an hour and a half and they turn out fine.

Usually I poke them with a for 4-5 times, then rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, wrap in foil, then bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven. You don't want them to be mushy, but not crunchy either. They should give a little when you squeeze them.

undercooked.... they take a long time in the oven... if your other food is ready to eat, stab some holes in them and stick it in the microwave, another 10 min in ther and they should be done.! When finished feel free to put in a 4th one for me... there is nothing better than a baked potato......

Uh, yeah those other answers where unusual! LOL!

I found depending on your oven it varies. I have to cook large potatoes and sweet potatoes for almost 2 hours @ 400 degress before they are so perfectly soft!! My daughter likes the sweet potatoes.

Have fun eating them when they are done!

They are undercooked. I usually try and bake mine at 400 for an hour, depending on the size and what else I have to cook. If I bake them at 375 then I give them an extra 10-15 minutes and so on and so forth.

The best way to cook baked potatoes is in plastic bag (like Wal-Mart bags ) just put them in the bag 2 at a time and tie the end loosely and cook for 10 to 15 minutes in the microwave. perfect every time.

You can try 3 potatoes. Try one now and I bet you do it again.

It takes a long time to bake potatoes. 400 degrees is a good temp but if u keep opening the oven, you are letting all the heat out. Let them cook for an hour before you even check them. The time that the potato cooks all depends on the size and the temp. The olive oil, salt, pepper and foil is a very good idea. Give them some more time. If they are stiff, then they probably need another 30 - 45 minutes due to loss of heat. Hope it works out for you...

For the oven
take a potato(s) make a criss cross mark(an X) brush melted butter on them then sprinkle a little of salt and pepper on them then wrap in aluminum foil. put in a preheated 400 degree oven. bake them for 55 to 60 minutes. poke a fork in them to see if the fork goes all the way through if it does they are done.
For Microwave
take a potato(s) put on a saucer make a criss cross mark(an X) same as above. brush melted butter sprinkle salt and pepper. Do Not wrap them just put them in the microwave for 6 minutes. try them with a fork if they arent done then put in for another 2 minutes. ck them again. do this till they are done to your liking. microwave wattage varies so the time will vary. and it all depends on how big the potato is and how many you have in there at the same time. a good size saucer can hold 4 potatoes. ...good luck...

Did you wrap them in foil? Cuz if you put them in the oven with out foil the skin may get a little hard and crunchy. My hubby loves them this way. Try taking one out and pkong a fork in it....




Uhhh I just realzed you probably ate the potatoe ages ago, sorry but maybe it will help you in the future.
