How long do you microwave a potato for?
Do you have to prick it with a fork or something first?

But user, the microwave is arguably the best way to cook a baked potato. I ain't even mad.

Actually, its not just a matter of effort. Its also a matter of time, hunger and indecision.
But you're right; I should try actually making it that way once.
There's often a potato button on microwaves. Least, in the U.S..
But actually, don't do that. Average potato for me is probably like 5 min 30 sec to 6 min 30 but it seems the russets I buy might be unusually sized or something.

Oh forgot; Yes, you do want to poke it with a fork.

Yo I microwave potatoes and only put sour cream and Italian dressing on it, and shit tastes good. Oly takes about ten minutes.

Its only called a baked potato. Presumably because that's how it was originally prepared. If it comes out about the same, I see nothing wrong here.

But it doesn't come out the same. When you microwave it you don't get that awesome crispy skin you do when you bake them.

Usually I scrub a potato then poke a few holes in it with a knife, then stick it in the microwave for about 9 minutes. I might seem kind of long, but it gets the potato soft all the way through.
