Oatmeal can make a nutritious breakfast. Oatmeal is a nutritious breakfast that is easy to cook. If you choose instant oatmeal, it only takes one minute to prepare, while quick oatmeal and old-fashioned oatmeal take a few minutes longer.
1 Bake the potatoes: You can bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack, or you can place them a few inches apart on a foil-lined baking sheet. 2  Bake the potatoes for 50 to 60 minutes. 3  Flip them over every 20 minutes or so and check them for doneness by piercing them with a fork.
Method #1: Classic Baked Potato How-To. Rub a small amount of olive oil on your potatoes, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. (Some people even roll their potatoes in the salt, which is A-OK.) Place your potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 425Â°F for 30 to 45 minutes. Total time will vary based on oven type and potato size, but not quantity. Just make sure the potatoes are evenly spaced on your baking sheet and you could cook one or 8 per pan. If youâre using a convection oven, you should bake at 375Â°F for about 30 minutes before testing for doneness. Youâll know your potatoes are ready when the outside is slightly crisp and when you pierce the center with a sharp knife the flesh inside gives way easily. Pro tip: No need to wrap your potatoes in foil in this method.
