how long to cook bake potato in the oven
The cooking time for a baked potato in the oven depends on the size of the potato and the oven temperature. Here’s a general guide:
- Small potatoes (about 150g): 45–60 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
- Medium potatoes (about 250g): 60–75 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
- Large potatoes (about 350g): 75–90 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
To ensure doneness, insert a fork or knife; if it slides in easily, the potato is ready. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
