Baking a potato in the oven does require a little more time than zapping it in the microwave, but it’s mostly hands-off time. The perfect baked potato is crispy on the outside and pillowy in the middle. Scrub the potato and prick it with a fork to prevent steam from building up and causing the potato to explode in your oven. You can cook Iz’s Baked Potato Bread using 8 ingredients and 11 steps.
