Quick and tasty microwave baked potato recipe for a time-saving twist on a classic favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 1 large (10 to 12-ounce) russet potato
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, optional
  • Pinch of kosher salt, optional
  • Optional toppings:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon minced chives
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
  • To ensure a crispy skin on your baked potato, preheat the oven to 450°F, thoroughly scrub the potato, dry it off, and pierce it a few times all over with a fork.
  • Microwave the potato: Place the potato on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until soft. Check by pressing gently with your thumb or piercing with a fork. Microwave for 1-2 minutes more if needed.
  • To achieve a crispy and salty skin on the potato, coat it evenly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for about 10 minutes until the skin is cracking and crispy. Enjoy!
  • To serve, cut the hot potato lengthwise halfway through to reveal the fluffy interior. Add your favorite toppings like butter, cheese, sour cream, and chives while piping hot. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For a crispy texture, reheat in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes. Show some love by rating the recipe!
