This is the way but I prick the skin then nuke for 5 mins. Then rub with oil, sea salt. Only takes 20 - 30 mins on Gas Mark 6 from then depending on the size of the spud.spanish blue said:MikeBlue said:ob said:oven for about 2 hours normally
2 hours????
What temp?
I usually put them in microwave first for about 8 mins then in the oven to crisp up but the Mrs wont be in till 8 tonight so thought I would go the whole hog in the oven for once.
Prick skin with fork,rub some olive oil all over then rub in crushed sea salt put in oven uncovered for 1 1/2 hours gas 5/190c. Turn after 45 mins. Crispy outside fluffy inside enjoy.
Having one tonight with extra spicy chilli on top, mmmmm.

I will play it safe and go for the 90 min option.
depends on size of spud mate - I would check after hour-hour n half and go with that

The ovens I work with are industrial but you shouldn't be baking it for more than an hour, unless your oven is powered with t-lites.

That would have to be a very big potato. I'd use the same technique except 180C and about 45 minutes.

3. I used to put them in a hot oven but I've learnt over the years to get the crunch, they need to have slightly less heat and slightly longer cooking. So place the potatoes straight on to the centre shelf of the oven and let them bake for 1¾-2 hours depending on the size of the potatoes, or until the skins are really very crisp. Learn to use the time when you're out, so they can be ready when you come home, or go and do something else and forget about them till they're ready.
most cooking website recommend between 1 and 1 1/2 hours depending on size of potato - delia says between 1 3/4 and 2

I think you have just decided on my tea :)

I edit that out mate.
Microwave for 5 mins then cook in oven(without tin foil, we want the skins crispy) for an hour on 220.
Take out of oven, cut in half and scoop out the potato. Add cheese and butter and mash together. Put the mix back into the potato skins and put a piece of bacon on top.
Put back in oven and cook until bacon is done to your liking.
