I usually wrap my potatoes in a paper towel then i moisten the paper towel and put them in a plastic bread bag and they really come out moist.

Perfect! I just made this for my husband and I - minus the sour cream - and it was delicious. Thanks for such a quick and simple treat.

I had to make 3 baked potatoes quickly. So after reading this recipe and several reviews I did the following: I put the 3 scrubbed and pricked potatoes into a casserole with a cover. I added a bit of water at the bottom and covered the casserole. I then nuked them for 8 minutes (we have a pretty powerful micro). I then turned them over, recovered them and nuked them for another 8. Then I let them sit, covered until I was ready to serve. My husband actually commented on them, asking if I used different potatoes since these were the best he'd had. He even ate the skin and he never does that.

Just tried this tonight! I had never baked a potato in the microwave so I thought I'd try it out. I wanted to use up what I had in the fridge to make a quick dinner tonight of loaded baked potatoes. I used the tip of adding water to the bottom of my container. I also cooked my potato in 5 min increments (I was still afraid of a potato flare up). After it was soft enough, I cut it length-wise and used a fork to fluff it up a bit. I loaded mine with butter, cheese and broccoli. Big hit here at home!

I can't believe a simple thing like this could taste so good! I tried it expecting nothing special but it knocked my socks off! I'll be having a potato prepared like this with my dinner in the near future!

There is no need to prick the potato if it is wrapped in wet paper towel and placed on a paper plate. The same cooking times apply. Turn it 1/2 way through.

This is super easy. Thank you to the reviewer who suggested that you put the potatoes in a paper bag before cooking--I'd agree that it helped the steaming process. Will do this one again!

I did exactly what the recipe said and it turned out well. I listened to a few user reviews and put some water at the bottom of the plate while microwaving. I poked it with a fork and cooked a large russet on one side for 5 mins and flipped it and cooked it for another 2 mins. I then salted it, put cheese on it then microwaved it for a min, and then put sour cream and crushed bacon on top. Yummy.
