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.
How to Make It. Preheat oven to 400Â°. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and add potatoes. Boil potatoes until barely tender when pricked with a fork, about 5 minutes, then drain them completely and spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
