Step-by-Step Instructions (Fast, Foolproof, Perfect)

1. Prep the Potato

  • Scrub potato under cold water. Pat completely dry.
  • Poke 4–5 holes with a fork (prevents steam buildup).
  • Rub with oil and sprinkle generously with salt (this = crispy skin!).

2. Microwave (The Speed Secret!)

  • Place potato on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Microwave on high for 5–7 minutes (flip halfway).
    • Small potato: 5 mins
    • Large (10+ oz): 7 mins
  • It should be mostly tender when squeezed (it’ll finish in oven).

3. Crisp in Hot Oven
