making baked potatoes

It will depend on the size of the potatoes how long you bake them for. Their skin should be crispy and the meat should be easy to cut with a fork.
Before taking the potatoes out of the oven, make sure they are safe. They will be very hot when you first touch them, so wait a few minutes.
Use a fork to fluff up the inside of each potato after cutting it open lengthwise.
Put it on a hot plate and top it with butter, sour cream, grated cheese, chopped chives, bacon bits, or anything else you like.

Have fun with your tasty baked potatoes!
