Chef Tips:

1. The time for baking the potatoes varies as it depends on the size of the potatoes.
2. I personally suggest that you use even sized potatoes so that all the potatoes take similar time to bake.
3. You may serve the baked potato without baking topping, it’s just that I like the topping to be a little crisp.
