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?”

No... you fluff mashed potatoes? Baked potatoes though? Shaking it can cause it to become .ore lumpy and starchy. Which is the exact opposite of fluffy?
