Oven – Fastest way to cook a baked potato

microwaveovenpotatoes

Baked potatoes are great as everyone knows but what is fastest way to cook them (obviously preserving the taste).

Normally I do about 10 minutes in the microwave and then in the oven till the top starts to crisp.

But is there a better way?

Grilling / broiling the potato after it comes out of the microwave is quicker than baking it and achieves the same crispy outside.

If you really prefer them baked though, you can speed this up by inserting a large metal skewer into the potato while it's in the oven
