The Method: How To Bake a Potato in the Microwave. The Result: Super-fast cooking time with soft skins. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and prick them with the tines of a fork. Place all the potatoes on a microwave-safe dish and microwave at full power for five minutes. Turn them over and microwave for another three to five minutes. If still hard in the middle, microwave in additional one-minute bursts until cooked through.
I usually start a baked potato in the microwave--2 minutes on one side; 2 on the other. Meanwhile, heat up the toaster oven to 400 degrees. Put the microwaved potato into the toaster oven. It should be done in half an hour. This makes the skin crispy which is how I like it. Otherwise, slather oil on the outside before microwaving; after microwaving wrap in foil. The skin will be soft then.
