Prime Select for the best baked potato

Choosing four perfectly sized chef bakers for the ultimate baked potatoes just became much easier.  Prime Select Russet and Sweet potatoes are pre-washed and similarly sized for consistent, even baking. These potatoes are the perfect side dish for your favorite protein or the foundation for a delicious center-of-the-plate meal.

Basic Baking Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the packaging and poke potatoes a few times with a fork.
  • Rub potatoes with your favorite cooking oil (makes the skin crispy), and season with salt (helps to dehydrate skin and make it even crispier) and pepper.
  • Bake on a baking sheet lined with foil or place directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes.

Enjoy!

Russet Prime Select
