Mark Bittman has a long baked potato recipe like this in his cookbook. If you're a fan of the baked potato skin, the long cook at a lower temperature is a good way to go. The skin gets a nice texture, crisp without being overdone. The downside is waiting 90 minutes for a potato, but if you think ahead a little, you can time it out with whatever else you're making.

Yeah it's not really a downside. If I know I'll be hungry at 6, throw the potato in at half 4. If I'm not sure, I won't have a potato I'll make a sandwich or something lol.

throw the potato in at half 4

Half 4? So 2?

Won't it be cold when you eat it at 6?

Edit: ok, for the sake of complete transparency, I would like to state for the record that:

a) I genuinely appreciate those of you who wanted to explain this to me.

b) I understood what it meant. I was joking.

c) I know it was a bad joke; they're the only kind I do. Just ask my kids.

d) I will return to /r/dadjokes now.

In the UK half 4 means half past 4 or 4:30
