💡 Tips for the BEST Baked Potato

  • Use russet potatoes – fluffy, not waxy
  • Don’t wrap in foil → traps steam, makes skins soggy
  • Bake directly on rack for most crispiness
  • For extra crispy skin: bake an extra 10 minutes

🧀 Short Microwave Hack (Fast Version)

If you’re in a hurry:

  1. Microwave potatoes 7–10 minutes
  2. Brush with oil + salt
  3. Bake 10 minutes at 425°F

Same crispy skin, done super fast!
