What tips would you give for making baked potatoes?

Potato Button, what? I don't have one of those....only potatoes I don't pre-soak are instant. My dad loved potatoes. Everyday we ate potatoes, when I was growing up. Didn't know how to cook rice, or pasta. But definitely knew how ta cook a potatah. And now that I think about it...I didn't know why I prep'd them this way. But, thanks to y'all doing this video...I understand. Thanks for the extra knowledge of why I do the things I learned years ago😁

Put a pizza stone on the bottom shelf. Let the oven / stone preheat for 1/2 hour. The stone helps stabilize oven temperature

geez Get up 2 AM on Saturday to start making your baked potatoes for Saturday night...They're just potatoes, throw them in the fire for 90 minutes and they'll be fine.

I know all this stuff. You're not taking into consideration people like me with hypertension that can't use salt. Using crushed garlic works just as well and has even more anti carcinogenic properties than salt.

One ingredient recipe...and I still got it wrong?

Baked potatoes... It's easy! First: wash the potato.
Second: stab it with a fork, 10 to 20 times all over.
Third: rub olive oil all over it. Four: salt, pepper & just
a pinch or two of garlic powder. Five: place it in a pre-
heated oven at 400 degrees, for 55 minutes. Lastly:
cut it down the middle, squeeze both open sides to
properly mash it's inside. Then add whatever fillings
you like & enjoy eating this wonderful starch of life!

Why is the music so loud? Why is there music at all. People with auditory processing issues can’t understand this video.

The name of this channel is "Mashed". I think baked potatoes are outside of their area of expertise.

[rondifrankel]

The background "music" is extremely distracting.

Stop being pretentious, wash them, dry. poke, oil. season then bake. Uncover for 15 mins while prepping other items, cover and serve. It's not hard doh!

The video reminded me, tatoos are ugly.

I wrap my potatoes in new paper and cook in the dish washer.

Your stomach thinks all potatoes are mashed.
