Does it really take an hour to cook a baked potato?!

You can nuke them in like 5 minutes if you need a fast potato.

It's really all about planning. Put your taters in early and then prepare the rest of your meal, set the table, take a leak, etc., etc.

They'll be done when it's chow time.

Use a microwave, but first puncture the potato six or seven times with a sharp knife.

When I was growing up we had these metal rods that you would stick into the potato. It conducts heat into the middle and lessens the cooking time. Browsing amazon I came across this. Looks pretty cool.

Dude didn't you watch The Irishman like a dozen times? Throw 'er on for one more round — what better potato movie — and before you know it, you'll have enough baked potatoes to run a capuchin kitchen out of your apartment. 😎

Nope. A baked potato is already cooked 😄

Actually longer if you want it crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle

Potato is one of them crazy foods that actually tastes better microwaved than it does baked.

Pressure cooker is supposed to make great baked potatoes but i've never tried it.
