1 Potato...2 Potato...3 Potato..4

So I love baked potatoes but hate how long it takes for them to cook in the oven.  I learned a trick (credit goes to mama bear)  to help speed up the baking process, yet still getting the crunchy outside skin! So I thought I would share:  

1. Make sure to wash the potato and poke numerous holes in it

2. Put it in the microwave on baked potato button (if you don't have a baked potato button make sure to lower the power level...to maybe 50% or 60%...you want the potato to be just starting to get soft

3. While the potato is in the microwave, preheat oven to 400 degrees

4. Once the potato is done in the microwave (just starting to get soft) put the potato in the pre-heated oven for about 15min....check the potato and pull out once at your desired crispiness.

5. Enjoy!

*Each oven and microwave is different so make sure that the first time you try this to keep checking your potato to make sure it's cooking right or not over done*
