Idle question. I’ve always heard that you need to prick the skins before baking a potato. The potential consequence for failure to do so is a catastrophic potato explosion.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

    No but had eggplants explode, and instantly sear onto the entire inside of the oven. Even kicked the door open a little.

      I would fear an eggplant more than a potato. Higher moisture and tougher skin. Not going to take any chances.
