Morphology
The meaning 'a potato cooked by baking' is directly and compositionally derived from 'baked' (cooked by dry oven heat) + 'potato' (starchy tuber). This adjective+noun combination follows a standard, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Baked potato comes from a simple idea: a whole potato is put in an oven and baked in its skin until the inside is soft. Imagine a potato with a crisp skin and warm, fluffy inside — that's why the name means 'a potato cooked by baking'.
