Frequently Asked Questions
How long to bake a potato at 400?
A medium russet potato takes 50-60 minutes at 400°F. It's done when a fork slides in easily and the center is fluffy.
Should you wrap potatoes in foil?
No — foil steams the potato and prevents crispy skin. Bake directly on the rack with oil and salt rubbed on the skin.
