Hey, I was thinking about the perfect baked potato recipe. It’s simple, but every step matters, right?

Sure thing, but if you want that “perfect” result, you’ll need to check the heat, the skin prep, the oil, the seasoning balance, the baking time, the internal temperature, the resting period, and even the plate layout. Every little step is a clue in the puzzle. What’s your starting point?

I’d start by turning the oven on and letting it preheat to the right temperature. That’s the base, and then we can worry about the skin, oil, and seasoning after that.

Yeah, just hit the oven and set it to 425°F if you’re after that fluffy center and crisp skin. Make sure the dial stays at that temp, not the “quick‑preheat” mode that drops once you open the door. What temperature are you aiming for?

I’m aiming for 425°F. That keeps the heat steady so the potato turns out fluffy inside and crisp on the outside.
