I WISH my clone had told me these things.
Damn you clone. Damn you. My baked potatoes were always hard.  |
FWIW I have good luck with the microwave. Try microwaving the potato for a few minutes. 10 minutes will cook one from scratch--probably about four minutes would do for a partially baked one.
Some people don't like the texture of microwaved baked potatoes, so maybe it would work better to do the microwaving first, then bake. If you realize the necessity that far in advance, of course.
