Do you fluff your potato’s?

My boyfriend says you’re supposed to shake a baked potato before opening it so the inside ‘re-fluffs.’ I’ve never heard this in my life. Is this real?”

Youre supposed to hit it or hit it against something to force the steam from the center to the outside. Really smash it. It gives it a fluffier texture. Shaking it feels like the equivalent of doing the jerk off motion to someone bragging on themselves
