Notes
How To Microwave Baked Potatoes
- Microwave the baked potatoes on a paper plate or directly on the microwave turntable. If cooking two or more potatoes, an additional 5 minutes. Check the potatoes. When done, the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork or paring knife all the way to the center. Continue to microwave in 1-minute bursts as needed until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Let the potatoes cool for about 5 minutes until you don't risk burning yourself. Make a slice down the top of the potato and using 2 forks, fluff the inside of the potato. Enjoy!
How To Cook Baked Potatoes in the Crockpot
- Prick the potatoes with a fork several times, then rub potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap tightly in foil. Place the potatoes into a crockpot, cover, and cook on high for 4 ½ to 5 hours, or on low for 7 ½ to 8 hours until tender.
