how long to bake potatoes at 375

The baking time for potatoes at 375°F (190°C) depends on the size and type of potatoes, as well as your desired level of doneness. Here are some general guidelines:

* Small to medium-sized potatoes (1-1.5 inches in diameter):
– 45-60 minutes for tender, slightly firm potatoes
– 60-75 minutes for soft, fluffy potatoes
* Medium to large-sized potatoes (1.5-2.5 inches in diameter):
– 60-75 minutes for tender, slightly firm potatoes
– 75-90 minutes for soft, fluffy potatoes
* Extra-large potatoes (2.5-3.5 inches in diameter):
– 75-90 minutes for tender, slightly firm potatoes
– 90-120 minutes for soft, fluffy potatoes

To ensure even cooking, you can:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Scrub the potatoes clean and dry them with a paper towel.
3. Poke some holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape.
4. Rub the potatoes with a little bit of oil and sprinkle with salt.
5. Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven.
6. Check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the potato. If it slides in easily, the potato is cooked.

Keep in mind that these times are approximate, and the actual baking time may vary depending on your oven and the specific potatoes you’re using.
