Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

• Potatoes
• Fat (for peeled potatoes)

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

1. Wash and brush the potatoes if baking in their skins.

2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Place the potatoes in the oven, ensuring they do not touch each other.

4. Turn the potatoes frequently while baking.

5. If peeled, place them in a dish and add fat to prevent burning.

6. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until done.

7. Serve promptly, covered with a folded napkin to allow steam to escape.
