how long to cook baked potatoes at 350 in foil

The cooking time for baked potatoes at 350°F (175°C) in foil depends on the size of the potatoes. Here are some general guidelines:

– Small potatoes (1-1.5 inches in diameter): 45-60 minutes
– Medium potatoes (1.5-2.5 inches in diameter): 60-75 minutes
– Large potatoes (2.5-3.5 inches in diameter): 75-90 minutes
– Extra-large potatoes (3.5-4.5 inches in diameter): 90-120 minutes

To ensure the potatoes are cooked through, you can check for doneness by:

1. Squeezing the potato gently: If it’s soft and yields to pressure, it’s done.
2. Inserting a fork: If the fork slides in easily, the potato is cooked.
3. Checking the internal temperature: A cooked potato should have an internal temperature of at least 205°F (96°C).

Remember to poke some holes in the potatoes with a fork before wrapping them in foil to allow steam to escape during cooking.
