I poked holes in it and microwaved 5 minutes. I stuck a knife in it and it was still a little under done, so I did 1 more minute until it was tender.
With sone butter, cheese, bacon bits, onion, and pickled jalapeños it was exactly what I was craving.
I would prefer the oven, but microwave is fine when it's hot weather.
The jalapeños put it over the top.
One of the cheapest meals I know of, and I love how many things are great in potatoes.

1 medium potato
4 pats of butter
Chopped onions, to taste
6 slices pickled jalapeños.
Bacon bits, to taste.
Poke holes in the potato and microwave 5 or 6 minutes or until tender, adding more time if needed.
Add butter and cheese. Add the rest of the ingredients.
Quick, easy and delish!
Hi
Trick I learned
Take 2 sheets of good quality paper towel and keep connected
Moisten with water
Wrap baking potato that you have punctured with fork
Microwave on plate on high about 5 min depending on size of potato 🥔
I’ll try that. Ty
Went the first ~20 or so years of my life without ever having an actual baked potato, they got baked in the microwave. Skin is crap compared to the oven but whatever, takes 1/10 of the time and it gets you 90% of the way there
They make potato pockets for just this. They’re cheap and made to stick potatoes in for microwaving. I really like mine, you sacrifice the crispy skin you get in the microwave but it’s so much faster
People never microwaved a potato? Also air fryer is good option for them as well without heating the house up
