  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) while microwaving.
  • Place microwaved potato directly on oven rack (or on a baking sheet).
  • Bake 15–20 minutes, until skin is crisp and interior is fluffy.

4. Serve Hot

  • Slice open, fluff with a fork, and add toppings immediately.

🥓 Topping Bar Ideas (Make It a Meal!)

  • Classic: Butter + sour cream + chives
  • Loaded: Bacon + cheese + scallions
  • Vegan: Vegan cheese + black beans + avocado
  • Healthy: Greek yogurt + steamed broccoli + everything bagel seasoning
  • Breakfast: Fried egg + salsa + hot sauce

❌ What NOT to Do

  • Don’t wrap in foil—traps steam = soggy skin.
  • Don’t skip the oil and salt—they’re essential for crunch.
  • Don’t microwave only—you’ll miss the crispy skin that makes a baked potato special.

🌟 Bonus: Oven-Only Method (If You Prefer)

  • Prep as above.
  • Bake at 425°F for 50–60 minutes, flipping once halfway.
  • But honestly—the microwave shortcut is a game-changer!
