The Perfect Baked Potato: Here is How Long to Cook Baked Potatoes at Different Temperatures

When it comes to baked potatoes, there is flexibility on the oven temperature, but you'll have to adjust the cooking time.  It doesn't make a big difference in taste, but rather is more of a practical issue since you may be cooking other things in the oven at a specific temperature and want to optimize your oven space and time.  You may also have a schedule where you want to use a higher temperature to bake them quicker!   So let me share the breakdown that we use!

This is how long to cook baked potatoes at different temperatures:

1. If baking at 300-degrees, plan on baking them for approximately 90 minutes.
2. If baking at 350-degrees, plan on baking them for approximately 70 minutes.
3. If baking at 400-degrees, plan on baking them for approximately 50 minutes.

Of course, potatoes come from nature and ovens may not be completely accurate, so use these times as a general guide and carefully double check whether they are done or need more time.
