NOTES : When baking potatoes in the microwave without stuffing, I let them cook
until just barely done, then transfer them to my toaster oven preheated to 375º F until
the rest of the meal is ready, (about 10 to 15 minutes). 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.
