There really aren't any tricks to make them taste better, but I find that when I wrap them, I like to make sure I've washed them well and they're still wet.
Now, some people have told me that I have to poke holes all over the potato, but I don't. All I do is cut a slit in the top of the potato after I've wrapped it; just about an inch or two. Then bake. The best part about baked potatoes is that they're really hard to mess up.
When they're done, you can add whatever you like to them. Butter, Sour Cream, Chives, Bacon, Cheese, or you can just eat them plain. I've known people who put salsa and cheese on their potatoes. Be inventive.
