How Long Does It Take To Cook Potatoes?
The cooking time for potatoes depends on the method of cooking and the size of the potatoes. Boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes typically takes 15-20 minutes, while roasting potatoes takes 30-45 minutes at 400°F. Baked potatoes take 45-60 minutes at 375°F, and microwaved potatoes take 5-10 minutes depending on the strength of the microwave and the size of the potatoes. It’s important to check the potatoes for doneness with a fork or knife before removing them from heat.
