*Cook’s Tip: To bake potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat dry. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork. Bake potatoes directly on middle rack of oven rack for 50-60 minutes or until tender.
To microwave: Wash potatoes and pierce several times with a fork. Place on microwave-safe plate. Microwave 1 potato at a time for 6-8 minutes or until tender, turning halfway through cooking.
