Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove twice-baked potatoes from the refrigerator or freezer and unwrap. Place the potatoes on a cookie sheet. Brush the top of each potato half with melted butter. Heat in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown. If the potatoes are frozen, heat for one hour.
Pat them dry to remove excess moisture, then stab each one multiple times with the tines of a fork. Stab deeply, pushing your tines at least halfway in. The larger the potato, the more holes you need to allow moisture to vent during cooking. This minimizes the chances of a potato exploding in the microwave. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, if you like. Place the prepared potato on a microwave-safe dish and cook it on high for five minutes. Turn the potato so that the bottom side faces up, and if your microwave doesn't have a rotating base, turn it so the side facing the inside of the dish is now pointed toward the outside.
