How to cook Baked Potatoes With Low-Calorie Topping:
Scrub potatoes well with a brush so that the skins
may be eaten. Prick with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking and to
prevent bursting. (Optional: rub with a little fat to soften skin.)
Bake in hot oven (425 °F): potatoes of medium size
will take from 50 to 60 minutes. Or, if other foods
are to be cooked in a moderate oven (350 °F to
375 °F), potatoes may
be baked along with them. In a moderate oven. medium-sized potatoes will take
from 60 to 80 minutes.
Remove
potatoes from the oven as soon as they are done. Slash an X in the topside of
each potato. Force the soft inner portion up through the opening to let the steam
escape; this keeps the potatoes dry and mealy.
