How long do you cook 12 baked potatoes?
If baking in a conventional oven, the time is not changed whether cooking 1 or 12 potatoes - about 45 minutes at 400 degrees. Test for doneness by piercing with a fork, as smaller potatoes will be done more quickly. If baking in a microwave, you do need to add more time for additional potatoes. The timing will also be effected by the size of the potatoes, as well as the type of microwave itself. 12 large potatoes would fill up a standard microwave. I would begin with 20 minutes, testing the potatoes for doneness every minute after that.
