This way the skin tastes like that of a regular oven-baked potato. When cooking several potatoes, arrange in a circle around the outer edge of turntable or plate, with thickest part towards the outside. For variety, try red skinned or white rose potatoes. They have a different taste and texture and are delicious baked in the microwave.
