you can just put a potato in the oven. and then 45 minutes later you will have a baked potato
If you like your potatoes with super crispy skin, or your potato is larger than average, or your oven is less powerful than others, you MAY have to leave your potato in the oven for up to ONE POINT FIVE HOURS. This is the truth behind the so-called life hack that they don't want you to know! You won't hear that on fucking tiktok!!!
After baking the potato, roll it around a bit to smash the insides some, then stuff that spud back in the oven until the skin has a desirable texture. Remove your twice-baked potato and add your favourite fixins.
