Shouldn't take any longer to bake 17....

than one.
Do you want crunchy skins and fluffy insides? Then bake at 500 degrees F. for 1 hour.
If you just want standard baked....375 degrees for an hour, or until they are tender enough to slide a knife balde in easily.
Either way, preheat the oven and place the potatoes directly on the oven rack.

ok, if I put them in a preheat oven at 5:00 they would be done by 6:00? Thanks.

I would suggest cutting them up; micro for 10 minutes; add olive oil seasonings

perhaps if you have some italian seasonings or pesto, garlic flavoring, etc...

Will be wonderful, flavorful and not require alot of work... (Because of your timing, I would definitely recomend smaller pieces and to be safe, I would micro to cook them a bit before putting them in the oven...)

Trust me...They will be delish!

Thanks Barb, this is for a baked potatoe bar. (thrown together really fast!)

Stick a skewer in each of them to conduct the heat inwards, more quickly.

 

[barb]

interesting! Thanks.

That would need to be a metal skewer to cook faster--

not a bamboo.
Cook at 400* for one hour--should get the job done.

It probably will take longer since you are adding quite a mass of

cold ingredients to a hot oven, it will take the temp down more than a lesser amount. You could compensate by starting at a hotter oven temp.

Thanks, they're still in the oven.

Thanks for the help! I got a late start, but they took 1 1/2 hours and were just fine.
