You can use a meat thermometer to test whether the potatoes have been done. An internal temperature of 210F indicates that the potatoes are done. Alternatively, you can simply pierce the potatoes with a fork or skewer. If it slides in perfectly, it indicates that the baking has been done. Another method to test for doneness is to gently press the potatoes using your thumb and forefinger.

When cooking over an open fire or in the coals of a barbecue, it may require wrapping in foil to prevent burning of the skin. A potato buried directly in coals of a fire cooks very nicely, with a mostly burned and inedible skin. A baked potato is fully cooked when its internal temperature reaches 99 °C (210 °F). Once a potato has been baked, some people discard the skin and eat only the softer and moister interior, while others enjoy the taste and texture of the crisp skin.

Potatoes cooked in a microwave oven without pricking the skin might split open due to built up internal pressure from unvented steam. It takes between one and two hours to bake a large potato in a conventional oven at 200 °C (392 °F).

According to food scientist Harold McGee, this enzyme happens to work best when the sweet potato is between 135°F and 170°F. Logically, the longer you can keep the sweet potato within this temperature range, the more starch will get converted to sugar. Steaming and boiling cook the sweet potato too quickly, but baking it in the oven at 350°F or lower is perfect. Sweet potatoes are done when they're soft all the way through. If you're using the sweet potatoes in something like a casserole or a pie, you can bake the whole potatoes ahead of time and keep them for several days before using them in your recipe.

Baking potatoes requires a temperature range between 300 and 400F, depending upon the type of oven you use. Medium size potatoes will have to be baked for 45 minutes at 400F or for 60 minutes at 350F or 90 minutes at 325F in a regular oven. If you use convection ovens, you will have to bake the potatoes for 45 minutes at 375F or 60 minutes at 325F or 90 minutes at 300F. Convection ovens cook faster than regular ovens so the rule of thumb is to set the temperature in convection ovens at least 25F lower than you would set in a regular oven.
