1.
Select potatoes of uniform size, wash them in cold water, and scrub with a stiff brush.
2.
Dry the potatoes on a cloth, and put them on the lower rack in a hot oven.
3.
Reduce the heat a little, and bake from thirty to sixty minutes, depending upon the size of the potatoes.
4.
Take from the oven and pinch each potato until the skin breaks on one side (this allows the steam to escape and prevents sogginess).
