Microwave Baked Potatoes

Microwave Baked Potatoes

I'm guessing there are at least 1000 web pages describing how to do this, but I want to write it down for my own posterity.  

I'm in Utah, so these times are for an elevation of about 5,604 ft!

I take four big ass potatoes, scrub them, poke them with a fork, and then Microwave them 12 minutes.  Sometimes I do it 6 minutes at a time and turn them, sometimes I'm lazy and don't.  Doesn't actually seem to matter one way or the other.

While I do that I heat up my oven on Speed Convection setting to 450.  Once the potatoes are done cooking in the microwave, I throw them in the oven for 25 minutes. Most recipes will say 20, but I'm higher altitude and I like em crispy!

Don't give me mushy potaters.  Don't do it!
