You cannot bake a potato at 0°F because this temperature is far below the typical baking range and is essentially freezing, not cooking. For baking a potato, standard oven temperatures range from about 375°F to 450°F, with baking times generally between 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the potato and the exact temperature used. For example:
- At 450°F, bake for about 45 to 60 minutes until the skin is crisp and the inside is soft
- At 400°F, bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until tender
- At 425°F, bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until soft when pierced
Baking at 0°F would not cook the potato but rather freeze it, so it is not a viable temperature for baking. For best results, use an oven preheated to at least 375°F and bake until the potato is soft inside.
