The oven has a function called "convert" which allows you to put in any temp. and time and it will determine what time it will take. You can choose between baked goods, meat, casseroles, etc. There is also a menu function which probably has "baked potato" as an option. There is a separate pizza function which works well. Things come out as if they had been in a full-sized oven.

Yes. See info book under bake and roast. I don't have much experience doing potatoes as we normally do them in the microwave. However any other baking we have done is about the same as doing it with the oven in the range or in our previous toaster oven.

I have have only used the machine once and strangely that was just a few days, and that was just to bake a potato so cannot fairly answer your question. Good luck with it Sincerely Robert J

Yes. Just click ON and click BAKE - then click arrow down until you get to Potato. When you click on bake it shows you all kinds of things and the time required. Find what you want and click Start - then it just gets right to work. The advantage is you don't need to use a big oven for a potato! You of course could cook one in a microwave..

Joy, finding directions and recipes is a challenge. I had purchased a turbo years ago and a recipe book was provided with it but it has hidden away in some drawer! As a general rule of thumb I use the turbo like a oven and adapt the recipes to the turbo. I bake potatoes, chicken, mac&cheese just to name a few of the things I've cooked in it. It is wonderful to warm up stuff. We have used the turbo since we got rid of the micro-wave 10+ years ago. I would say start out cooking things for a shorter length of time until you get a feel for how long it will take. If you bake a potato for say 45 min in the oven start off at 30 in the turbo. That way if it needs more cooking no harm done. If it's done you want dry it out. Hope this helps

Not according to the instructions on my bag. I did not. I cook sweet potatoes because they taste better and they are much healthier for you.

I have not baked a potato in the Breville, but I have baked salmon and heated lots of stuff on the bake setting , so I cannot see why baking a potato would be a problem.

I made two sweet potatoes, and it worked very well. You need to follow the directions. I am pleased with the toaster oven.

I doubt it. They are so quick to make that I wouldn't bother even attempting it. Just boil water and butter. Add potatoes and milk. Let sit 10 seconds.

No you don't. as far as time it is just as easy to put potatoes in microwave and set on potato...I did not like this product and threw it in the trash.

No, it did not. Just suggestions on how long to microwave the potato. To be honest I only used it one time, and felt that baking in the oven was better results.

Absolutely... I would recommend mixing it with the hot water before adding it to the casserole so that you don't get lumps..I usually buy the potatoes au gratin box (any brand) as the "base", then I slice up potatoes that I have pre-cooked (at least partially) and add a bit of additional milk to cover all of the potatoes... as an extra flavor I sometimes add cut up brocolli florets and sometimes cut up red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers and of course onions too... YUM...

I baked up to 5 potatoes, they were perfect with great crispy skin. Bake at 350 for about an hour, check by squeezing to be sure they are done so they are fluffy inside be sure to fork them when you take them out so they don't get soggy. You can easily add extra time depending on the number of potatoes. Like all baking it is trial and experience

Does anyone have a microwave with sensor for baked potatoes? If so, have you tried it with the Potato Express? I'm thinking of using that method, though the sensor may not work on something in a bag. Not sure why my hubby got me this for Xmas, as I was making darn good taters in the oven or using the microwave sensor with the taters wrapped in wet paper towels.

I did and it was super easy. Used Alton's recipe and baked at 300F in the oven, flipping half way through cooking. Want another one of these!

you can also "bake" a potato in the microwave. Wash your potato, put a 1" slit in the middle, and microwave at 100% power for 8 to 15 minutes depending on size. A large russet takes about 12-15 minutes.

I haven't tried that. I suppose you could if the potatoes were extremely done, maybe overcooked.

Yes, you can bake anything. It's not just a convection oven. It has a bake setting too, along with broil and rotisserie.

I have never cooked a sweet potato in it. I cook ordinary potatoes with great results but it depends on the size of them. You need to experiment. For a large or two small, start with 4 minutes and if you need longer, then put them in to finish off.
