A baked potato is a simple, filling dish made by cooking a whole potato in the oven until the inside becomes soft and fluffy while the skin turns crisp.
What a Baked Potato Is
A baked potato is usually made from starchy potatoes such as:
- Russet Potato (most common)
- Yukon Gold Potato (creamier texture)
When baked properly, the inside becomes light and fluffy, while the skin becomes slightly crisp and flavorful.
