Baked Potatoes Recipe 2

Instructions

1. Scrub the potatoes, either white or sweet, with a brush.
2. Bake in a hot oven.
3. The oven should be at a temperature that will render potatoes of medium size soft in about forty-five minutes.
4. The skins should not be blackened.
5. If the potatoes are to be eaten at once, take them from the oven to the dining-room.
6. If there is to be a delay of five minutes, make two gashes in the top of each potato, one at right angles to the other.
7. Gently squeeze the potato to let out the steam, partially wrap in a napkin and take to the table.
