Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake potatoes in the oven whole in foil? Very simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. For baking, you need to choose the right potatoes, because there are varieties that will remain raw inside even after an hour in the oven. In the store, the names of the varieties are not written on the price tags, so be guided by the color of the pulp: the lighter it is, the more starch it contains and the faster the potatoes will cook. Turn the oven on 180 degrees.

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and scrub thoroughly with a brush to remove all the soil. Dry the tubers. Wrap each potato in foil, place in a baking dish and place in an oven preheated to 180°C. How long does it take to bake whole potatoes in foil? It will take about 50-60 minutes. The exact time depends on the size, type of potatoes and your oven. The inside of the potatoes should be soft.
