To bake a potato, there are different temperature and time options depending on the recipe. Here are some of the most common ones:

• 450°F for 45-50 minutes : Preheat the oven to 450°F. Poke the potato with a fork, brush it with melted butter or olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 25 minutes. Brush with more butter or oil, flip the potato, and bake for another 20-25 minutes until soft.

• 425°F for 50-60 minutes : Preheat the oven to 425°F. Scrub the potato clean, rub it with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 50-60 minutes. Flip the potato every 20 minutes and check for doneness by piercing it with a fork.

• 400°F for 60-70 minutes : Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the potato with oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for 60-70 minutes until tender when pierced with a sharp knife.

• 350°F for 45-50 minutes : Preheat the oven to 350°F. Dice the potato into 1" cubes, soak in cold water for 15-20 minutes (optional), toss with olive oil and seasonings, and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Its important to note that the exact time and temperature may vary depending on the size and type of potato, as well as personal preference. To check for doneness, you can pierce the potato with a fork or squeeze it gently with an oven mitt. The internal temperature of a perfectly cooked baked potato should measure between 205°F to 215°F.
