This was definitely very yummy! I changed a couple of things though. I used red potatoes. I washed them, put wholes in them, and stuck them in the microwave for 5 minutes. Then I took them out and cut them in half. I then microwaved them for 1 more minutes. Then I took them out and put shredded cheese in them. Then I put them back in the microwave to melt the cheese for 30 seconds. I took them out and added ranch dressing, salt, and pepper. Delicious!!

Easy and yummy. I cooked it for 10 minutes in the microwave and then finished it up in the oven for a few minutes to give the skin that crispiness.

This was nice. We were hungry and were cleaning the oven, so typical baked potatoes were out of the question.... I made 3 large, potatoes, around 6 minutes each size...and WAY more salt.... I put on shredded cheddar and nuked it for another minute when it was done....added some pepper, and sour cream and served...YUM. thank you:)

This is a really quick and satisfying dinner on a cold night, and cleans up really easily too! I was afraid the potato would catch on fire, but I did as another reviewer suggested - I put a bit of water in the dish with the potato and watched it like a hawk, and all went wonderfully. I topped mine with some green onions and a sprinkle of garlic powder in addition to what was suggested. Broccoli and bacon would make excellent toppings too.

I have done this for years. I put as many potatoes as I can fit on a salad plate, stick 'em with a knife 5 times each, and seal them in a gallon sized zipper bag. Then I microwave on high for 5-7 min just keep checking by sticking a knife through the bag into a potato. The newer microwaves are much more powerful so find a time right for yours and remember it. This works everytime. I'll never use the oven again.

Came out great - cooking time was perfect for 3 large potatoes. Only additional tip: I wrapped the potatoes in a dampened paper towel first to seal in the moisture.

Another helpful tip: After washing and pricking potatoes, massage them with olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Then put them in the microwave as directed. The oil helps to keep the potato skins nice and supple and it also helps to keep the salt and pepper seasoning in place. This method works well in a conventional oven as well. People who eat the skins will enjoy this cooking method as it leaves the skins tender yet crisp (in the oven). Enjoy!

I used the plastic wrap tip and they turned out great! Not quite as good as the oven but considering how quick, they were awesome.

I followed the baking instructions to a T and my brand new GE Profile microwave caught fire and is now in the trash. My house smells of burnt potato and microwave. Not a good recipe.
