What is the best potato for baking?

The best potatoes for baking are ones that have a high starch content and a low moisture content. These types of potatoes tend to be fluffy and light when baked, and they hold their shape well. Some of the best potatoes for baking include:

* Russet potatoes

* Idaho potatoes

* Yukon Gold potatoes

* Fingerling potatoes

When choosing potatoes for baking, look for ones that are firm and smooth. Avoid potatoes that have any green spots or bruises, as these can indicate that the potato is starting to go bad.

To bake a potato, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash the potatoes and pat them dry. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
