This will depend on the size of the potatoes and the heat of the oven.

If you want to bake potatoes in their jackets a useful technique is to push a metal knife (It must be completely metal like a stainless steel dining knife with no bone or plastic handles) or metal skewer right through or at least into the middle of each potato - the metal will conduct the heat into the centre of the potato and this will reduce the cooking time.

If the potatoes are large you may want to halve or quarter them and place them on a baking tray. Peeling the potatoes and cutting them into smaller portions will also reduce baking time. If you pack them close together they will take longer to cook, so space them out.

Generally about 30 - 40 minutes in a moderate oven should be enough to bake a medium sized potato. Unless you have a small oven, or are baking something else in the oven at the same time, it is not a cost effective way of cooking potatoes.

No matter how many potatoes you bake - set the oven at 350 degrees and bake them for one hour. Larger potatoes may take longer. Always prick, pierce or cut a potato before baking as they can explode and make a mess of the oven, if the skin is unbroken and the steam cannot escape.

How long will it take a potato to bake at 350 degrees?

It will take about 2 to 2.5 hours. For a large potato at 350 it takes an hour so at 250 it will take longer. I bake mine at 450 for an hour and it comes out with a crispy skin and fluffy inside. I butter the outside of the potato before I bake it to get a crispy skin on it.
