Prick potatoes with a fork before baking to shorten the baking time and to keep them from bursting. Place the potatoes on an unlined baking sheet and bake at 400 F for about one hour, or until tender.

Second, the cracks that develop in the chips provide places for oil to collect and harden during frying, making them crunchy. [8] Third, thoroughly drying out the chips drives off moisture that would otherwise keep the crust from becoming crisp.
Thus, in the case of a cooking of 25 to 30 minutes in boiling water, peeled potatoes can lose up to 40% of their vitamin C, 10% if they are cooked with the skin (in this last case, there remains 13 mg of vitamin C for 100 g of vegetable). These losses are added to those induced by the storage time, about 50% after three months. [28]
