Bake your potatoes on a second rack at your oven's topmost setting...
the oven temp at the topmost setting will be 25 degrees hotter than the
oven center, and 375 is plenty hot enough for baked spuds... in fact
450 is too hot, the skins will likely burn before the interior is full
cooked... that's okay if you like Mickys.
