potatoes are a staple food in most parts of the world. We don’t really see too many potato recipes, other than in chiplevadas, and to a lesser extent, mash. However, cooking potatoes has many benefits, not only for the amount of nutrients you consume, but also for the variety of flavors you get from experimenting with different spices. These recipes are perfect for students, as they can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a quick and easy lunch later on.
The Best Method for Baking Potatoes
It is simple to bake potatoes in the oven and the best method is to bake them wrapped in aluminum foil. Potatoes have a natural tendency to dry out, which is why they are baked with a top layer of insulating food. They will cook quicker in this method, as there is less moisture to wick away. Potatoes should be cooked for about an hour and a half to two hours depending on their size. This is because they can be more easily overcooked when they are smaller. The best method is to wrap each potato in aluminum foil. The aluminum foil traps in the heat of the oven and protects the potatoes from the heat of the oven.

What Do I Do With the Potatoes?
Of course, you could always make them in a microwave (which we discuss below), but the oven baked potatoes are an amazing treat for a crowd and will make everyone happy. There are a number of different ways to prepare baked potatoes, but it’s best to stick with the classic French or double potatoes.
Bake Potatoes Without Water
Most people believe that you need to add water to the potatoes in order for them to bake properly. This is simply not true. Most people believe that potatoes bake better with water, but it’s really not true. Water adds nothing to a potato, as it’s already really soft and can get mushy if not baked long enough. You’ll find that your potato will turn out perfectly just by baking them in the oven without any water.
