I have to tell you, I love me a baked potato. Cook it up and slather it with butter and cheese and bacon bits, even some sour cream.
Back in the day I did them proper. Dredge them in butter and garlic powder, maybe even a little Parmesan. Wrap them in foil and bake them and then pull them out of the oven and put on all the goodies.
But it's been forever since I have done them that way. Anymore, all I do is put them in the microwave for about 5 minutes on each side and voila! It's a baked potato. But they still turn out delicious.
How do you make your baked potatoes?

I rarely eat a baked potato unless I'm baking it sliced with onions, carrots, and chicken and then pour Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup over everything before I stick it in the oven.

Definitely microwaved, because I don’t have a stove.

I love baked potatoes. Like you, I put on butter, cheese and bacon bits, sometimes with broccoli.

I nuke my potatoes, too. But when I was a child, we used to throw a few into the trash fire (trash fires were allowed way back then). Had to brush off the ashes, but they tasted great.

Lately, I have only been eating frozen fries and tater tots. When I did make baked potatoes I liked them with sour cream other times with butter, When baking I don't put anything on them,

I actually do have to say I PREFER a baked potato done in the oven. I technically could do this more often when I am baking something anyway. Like last night when I was baking the chicken thighs, it would have taken nothing to put the potatoes in when I did that.

I’ve never baked a potato in the microwave. If I buy Idaho potatoes I usually either mash them or cut them and fry them. Sometimes I buy a bag of small potatoes (usually mix of red, white, and purple) cut them in half, season with olive oil, salt, and other spices, and bake for 30 min at 400 F in my Breville toaster oven. Turn out really good.

I bake them in microwave and then add other ingredients to add the flavour.
