As the days get cooler and frost is in the air, deciduous trees and shrubs put on an autumn show in all shades of red, yellow, purple, and brown. The splendor of crisp fall days and vibrant leaves brings to mind memories for nearly everyone who lives in an area where deciduous forests are the dominant vegetation.
Remove the finished baked potatoes from your oven and set them on a dish or rack. Tightly wrap each individual potato with foil so that there are no uncovered or loose sections. Be sure not to cut open any part of the potato yet. The foil will keep any steam from escaping and help keep the potato warmer longer.
Method 3 Aluminum Foil. 1. Season the potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper (optional). If you're not going to do anything with the baked potato after it's cooked, seasoning it with olive oil, salt and pepper might be a good idea. 2. Wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is a good conductor of heat, meaning that the cooking time on baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil will probably go down.
