No, 500 is ridiculous. Just punch holes in the potato with a fork, wrap it in foil and bake it at 375 or 400 at the highest for an hour. There is nothing to be afraid of. It will be cooked. I know, because I bake potatoes a lot. In any case raw potato isn't dangerous. Heck as kids we would get a piece of raw potato when Mom was peeling them, add some salt and eat it up.
