Butter,

This was AMAZING I made this, but I added olive oils after microwaving, and I added grated cheese as well. I made a mayo-ketchup dip that went amazingly with this. Plain ketchup works too. I added Italian herbs and some chili flakes too. It was a huge hit with my family. I am only 12 and I could still make it with ease. Thanks!

I had forgotten how easy it was to bake a potato in my microwave.. 
My Kindergarten-aged granddaughter was able to help with the safer steps, and we had a wonderful lunch in about the same time it takes to make a hot sandwich!
I love cooking simple meals with my grandchildren!  Thanks for giving us another chance to cook together and share the"Love!"

This is a fabulous baked potato recipe! The fact that it is speedy because it uses the microwave is just a bonus! I have used it a number of times now, and have always been very very pleased with the result!

I've done this for years. But I also usually wrap potato in paper towel inside a microwave potato bag. (cotton fabric and pellon between)
Get a much fluffier potato. I usually crisp it up in airfryer too. Tastes yum.

I modified this recipe by poking the potatoes very deep, then liberally applying olive oil to the skins, rub in sea salt, then wrap with paper towels moistened with olive oil.  8 minutes for two potatoes, then check texture with a fork.  The taste and texture rival a regular bake potato.

Thank you!! I used to always make baked 🥔, but I forgot how to make them. Thx helped a lot😄👍✌️

It is a good quick method, in my book nothing beats a potato on the grill but after school when I need a snack this is the perfect go to

I life to microwave a potato, for 5 minutes, before I fry them, for breakfast.they don't take ad as l to fry up, by microwaving first.

I’ve always liked bake potatoes but didn’t want to go to the trouble of using the oven.

Don't have a whole hour to bake a potato? You can microwave it instead and get equally delicious results.
