Baked Potato

Baked potatoes are a food item created through baking a potato in a furnace. Baked potato restores 6 hunger points (3 whole) and 7.2 saturation points, equivalent to cooked chicken and slightly better than bread.

As no experience is granted for harvesting potatoes, and a cooked chicken yields the same amount of experience, cooked chicken has a slight advantage over cooked potatoes due to the experience bonus of breeding. However, since potatoes only need to be planted, are quickly harvested with almost no waste, and, unlike wheat and raw chicken, are currently not desired by villagers in trade, baked potatoes can be a much more efficient food source than cooked chicken.

Baking
Baked potatoes can be obtained by cooking the raw potatoes in an oven with some kind of fuel. A pair of saplings or a plank is recommended for maximum cooking efficiency.
