How to make a baked potato:
There are so many different types of potatoes that it can be hard to know which ones to grab when you’re making baked potatoes. Most people opt for Russet Potatoes, (the ugly brown ones!) because the skins are thick and get nice and crispy in a hot oven, but the insides are starchy and fluffy. If you don’t have Russet Potatoes, don’t fear — you can make a baked potato with any variety, the results will just be slightly different. You may not have skin that is as crispy and they make require a shorter bake time (russet potatoes are often some of the larger ones at the grocery store). So just be prepared to adjust as you need.
