Now, you might be wondering, how long exactly do you need to bake a potato at 250 degrees? Well, it really depends on the size of your potato - but as a general rule, you're looking at about 2-3 hours for a medium-sized spud. Yep, it's a bit of a wait, but like I said, it's totally worth it!
And here's a fun fact: did you know that baking potatoes at a low temperature like 250 degrees actually helps to break down the starches inside the potato, making it taste sweeter and more complex? It's true! The low heat helps to convert those starches into sugars, resulting in a potato that's basically Overflowing With Flavor.
