I am baking twice baked potatoes and have been baking for a little over an hour and they feel almost soft enough, but my boyfriend is not home with the other ingredients yet. If I left them in there too long, would it hurt them, or will they just be extremely soft? Just wondering because I don't want to take them out for them to just sit there, but I don't want them to be ruined.
THANKS!!!

It's ok it sounds like you are doing fine. You probably won't overbake them unless he doesn't come home at all!!!! I would just leave them in until he gets there.

Yes, wash the potatoes in water first and wrap them in foil while still wet. (I usually spray some PAM on mine and salt the "jackets" before I wrap them up.) Then before you put them on the grill, push a large spike nail through the potato. (You can buy these at Home Depot - about 1/4" in dia and about 10 inches long.) The nail gets hot and cooks the potato from the inside out in about 25 minutes and it doesn't allow enough time to burn. No need to turn them either. Johnny

Quick, turn off the oven. Don't worry about the poking of holes, I never did at the restaurant. Just let them sit in the warm oven until he gets back. Plus once they cool a bit, they're easier to scoop.
I've overbaked so many potatoes at work I can't count!

Yes, you can wrap them in tin foil or else keep them over indirect heat. My Dad always cooked the potatoes on the grill along side the meat. After they were just about done, he basted BBQ sauce on them so the skins tasted great!

yes you can overcook a baked potato, overcooking will dry them up, poatao will start getting hard.

They might dry out if you over cook them and the skin could get really tough.
