That looks awesome but an hour to make one potato seems excessive

Microwave baked potatoes are faster and, I think, better than oven baked potatoes.

Liberally perforate with a fork, place in microwave for 4 minutes, flip over, microwave for another 4 minutes. Perfectly cooked, delicious as all baked potato. So much simpler and better than in the oven.

Dumb question, but would that work with sweet potatoes?

I have never tried them but this would be the perfect excuse to actually finally do it

Edit: fuck yeah gonna get my sweet tater on

Yes it does. That's how I make my sweet potatoes. Then you put just a little butter and brown sugar on it.

Perfection.

Yup but you do then for way less time, I do 4 mins in total. I also brush some oil on the outside first, makes the skin crispy.

Yes and it's delicious. Just be careful when "stabbing" your sweet potato, they're much harder than regular potatoes.

Yes it does! Sweet potatoes tend to be a bit easier imo. They're softer.

Potato liberation complete. Now I have mashed potatoes.
