How long and how hot should I bake a potato that weighs one pound?

Answer 1

bake @ 450 for at least an hour or untill the potato gives to the touch (if its hard, its not done)

Answer 2

That's a big tater! Do not cover it with foil, no matter what anyone else tells you, all that does is trap in the steam and you'll have a steamed tater.
Clean the tater, rub dry, poke a couple of holes in the skin with a fork, put into a 450 degree oven for between 45 minutes and one hour. To see if it is done, stick a fork in, it should go in smoothly, if there is give the tater still has some raw spots. Enjoy!

Answer 3

wrap in foil, bake @ 350 for 40 min. then check w/ fork to see if it's soft in the middle.

better, cut potato, brush on a little bit of melted butter or marg. add ground sea salt, ground cracked pepper, wrap in foil and then bake like above.

Answer 4

Stab it all around and bake it at 200C for about an hour. Use an oven mitt to see it is soft to the touch.

Answer 5

Best bet to insure it being done: 5 minutes in microwave, wrap in foil, bake in oven for one hour. Big pot!!!

Answer 6

an hour
