Q: how long do you cook Omaha stuffed potatoes? In microwave about three minutes.

We recommend baking potatoes at 400 degrees F for about an hour. Smaller spuds might take a little less time, while larger baking potatoes over 1 pound might take a little more.

We recommend 400° F. In previous studies with Kitchen Consultants, out of Los Angeles, we raised our baking time suggestions from 45 or 55 minutes to one full hour or when the internal temperature of the Idaho® baked potato reaches 210° F.

Directions. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the potatoes in a bowl with the oil, salt, and pepper until completely coated. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork tender, about 45 minutes.

Over baking the potato -

Visual signs: The potato skin will start to wrinkle when over cooked.

Cut leftover baked potato in half lengthwise, and place each half cut side up on a microwave-safe dish. Cover each cut side with a damp paper towel. Heat the halved potato for about 3 minutes, or until heated through.

Place desired amount of potatoes au gratins in fry pan basket leaving ½” between au gratins. Cook for 25-30 minutes.

All you need to know about microwaving potatoes

Potatoes take about 5-6 minutes in the microwave for a 1000w microwave. We recommend cutting the potato in half lengthwise for quick, even cooking. For lower wattage microwaves, add 1-2 more minutes of cook time for a fully cooked potato.

Baking a potato can take an hour, while microwaving takes about 10 minutes. An equally good reason is this method produces a superior baked potato. A long time in the oven can often dry out the interior of a potato, but not so with the microwave. It steams the interior of the potato, keeping it moist and fluffy.

Is it better to bake potatoes in foil or not? ›

"I see a lot of people using foil to wrap their potatoes in but this is a big no-no and causes soggy skins!" he says. Foil holds in moisture and steams the potatoes, resulting in a "boiled" taste and texture. Plus, without the use of foil, the skin will get extra crispy and flavorful.

Rumor has it that an un-pricked spud will explode in the oven—but in all actuality, that's unlikely.

Trapping that spud in aluminum foil where the moisture cannot escape results in a wet potato. Over baking the potato in foil cannot be seen (or easy to smell that it is overcooked) so you can end up with dark brown skin on the bottom, tough to eat and giving off a slightly burnt taste.

— Microwave it. Depending on the size and density of your potato, cooking times will vary. Start with 3 or 4 minutes, then flip the hot potato with a pair of tongs and continue with an additional 3 minutes of cooking time. You can tell it's done if a knife goes through it without any resistance.

In the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 250°F. Place your seasoned, room temperature filet mignon on an elevated baking rack to allow airflow around the steak. Cook for 20-25 minutes in the oven and check temperature using a meat thermometer until the internal temperature is 10°F below your desired doneness.

Is it possible to "slow bake" potatoes at 250 degrees (cooking meat at this temp for several hours and can't do the potatoes at the higher temp)? A: Sure, it's okay to cook them at 250 degrees. They are done when the internal temp is 210 degree, which could take up to 4 ½ hours.
