Baked Potato Tips

When picking a potato for baking pick one with a high starch content, this makes for a fluffier baked potato. Good starchy potatoes are: russet and Idaho.

Look for potatoes that have a smooth skin and no sprouts. Stay away from those with wrinkly skin or soft spots.

Store your potatoes in a cool dark spot away from your onions.

And don't store them for months on end. A couple of weeks is what you should plan for.
