Baked potatoes that have been left at room temperature have been known to grow Clostridium botulinum which forms a deadly toxin and can make people sick. The potato might not spoil in the traditional sense (mold, slime, funky odor), but it could be dangerous. To prevent the possibility of botulism intoxication, either refrigerate (below 40°F) baked potatoes or keep them warm (above 140°F).
