how long to bake potatoes 350
The baking time for potatoes at 350°F (175°C) depends on the size and type of potatoes. Here are some general guidelines:
* Small to medium-sized potatoes (1-1.5 inches in diameter): 45-60 minutes
* Medium-sized potatoes (1.5-2 inches in diameter): 60-75 minutes
* Large potatoes (2-2.5 inches in diameter): 75-90 minutes
* Extra-large potatoes (2.5-3 inches in diameter): 90-120 minutes
To ensure the potatoes are cooked through, you can check for doneness by:
1. Inserting a fork or knife into the potato. If it slides in easily, the potato is cooked.
2. Checking the internal temperature. A cooked potato should have an internal temperature of at least 205°F (96°C).
3. Squeezing the potato gently. A cooked potato should be slightly soft to the touch.
You can also wrap the potatoes in foil and bake them at 350°F (175°C). This will help retain moisture and promote even cooking.
Remember to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking the potatoes. You can also rub the potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper for added flavor.
