Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Wash potatoes with cold water. Dry and pierce the skin a few times with a fork.
Wrap each potato with aluminum foil (double wrap for campfire or grill).
Place the potatoes directly on rack in the middle of oven.
Bake for 60-90 depending on size. Potatoes should test soft in the middle.
Serve hot with butter, sour cream or other favorite condiments.
Notes
If using a grill or campfire, place potatoes at the back of the grill, or in the coals at the edge of the campfire and turn often.
