Here are the steps to bake a potato:
- Wash and dry a potato with the skin intact.
- Prick the potato skin all over with a fork to allow steam to escape and prevent bursting.
- Place the potato directly on the middle rack of a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the potato is soft when gently squeezed.
- Remove the potato from the oven and serve topped with butter, cheese, sour cream, or other favorite toppings.
