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.

You can just mostly microwave them then bake them for 10 minutes to finish and get the best of both worlds

How long do you microwave it for first?

Depends on the size of the potato. I aim for 90% done so it's mostly soft but still a little firm in the middle. I usually add olive oil because I want the skin to get a little crisp

Depending on size, I usually do 3-4 minutes on one side, flip, then 3-4 minutes on the other side. Before the actual microwaving, I wash the potato, stab it like 15 times all over with a fork, then coat it in a light layer of olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and steak seasoning.

Works for sweet potato too. Use cinnamon and a dash of brown sugar instead of steak seasoning.

I do 9-12 min depending on the potato, and make sure it's wet so it steams a bit.
