Sweetpotato and beans, yum.

I could've sworn I told you about this a while ago. You were probably just high on salvia.

I microwaved 2 regular potatoes, a sweet potato and an onion. I stuffed the potatoes with the onion. It was delicious and only took 10 minutes.

If you like them shitty out of the microwave, you'll love them good out of the oven.
They take the slight effort of a longer wait, but if you have even the roughest idea of your meal time that isn't difficult.

But I like eating the crispy skin from proper baked potatoes. I have a combi microwave. Microwave, convection oven, broiler. Will only use it if my oven breaks down. But nowadays, I can get a new oven delivered next day.

>>15712866
If I were making a roast I'd do them in the oven, but waiting an hour for what equates to a small meal or a snack is not worth it. Microwaved potatoes are 6 times quicker and are still good and satiating.

>shitty out of the microwave
you can buy a bag to put your potatoes in when you put them in the microwave and it takes 99% the same dude

>>15712639
Microwave ur scrambled eggs too if youre in a rush. Shits delicious

>>15713204
OP very obviously didn't do that, so my point stands

>>15712902
Lazy and impatient. You don't even get to appreciate the crispy skin.

>>15713241
That's just sad.

>>15713274
Have to disagree. Microwaved potatoes can form a chewy skin which in my opinion is superior to my taste is superior. Tastes like a chewy potato chip.

>>15713241
Do you boil your water that way too?

>>15713290
damn i stroked out writing that.
too much microwave radiation

>>15713290
And how often have you seen chewy potato chips on sale?

>>15713204

I just poke holes with a fork and wrap them in a moist paper towel. I didn't know they sold bags for microwaving potatoes. Weird.

>>15713303
Probably plastic.

>>15713302
Never, but I don't see baked potatoes on sale either. Probably more of a logistics issue than anything.

>>15713314
Every supermarket sells baked potatoes. Either hot or frozen.

>>15713338
I wouldn't recommend the frozen ones, though people will eat them.

>>15713274

What about efficiency? Would you heat up a full size oven to bake one or two potatoes? It takes an hour or longer and potatoes leave a lot of wasted space in the oven. Maybe I'll try microwaving them for a few minutes then finishing in the toaster oven for a crispier skin.

How do you make them in the microwave?

>>15713314
In Japan its very common for grocery stores to sell fresh baked sweet potatoes, though I don't think they sell just baked potatoes.

>>15713338
Just checked the online store of every major supermarket in Australia.
None of them sell baked potatoes either fresh or frozen.

>>15713307
Yeah, they're polyester.

>>15713348
You can't beat an oven baked potato skin. You can't emulate it with a microwave and toaster oven. The skin is baked. Not microwaved.

>>15713353
Poke some holes all around.
Little bit of salt, pepper and olive oil.
Cook for 9-10 minutes.
Cut open, put in butter or whatever.

>>15713353
You don't. The clue is in the word BAKED.

>>15713356
Tell them your country is lagging. Embarrass them. Let them know how lazy you are.

>>15713369
What is the point of the oil and salt. The salt needs to go on the insides when it's cooked. The oil, I just don't know.

>>15713393
Makes the outside taste good. The oil is just to make it stick to the potato.

>>15713415
Also when the butter melts it all comes together to create a nice little sauce on the bottom of the bowl.

How about potatoes wrapped in foil on a campfire? Those are my favorite, but I usually only make them a few times a year. If I'm roasting beets or using the oven for something else I might throw in a few potatoes if I think about it. I would never bake them on their own in the oven because it seems so inefficient. Microwaved ones skins may not be quite as good, but the innards taste the same.

>>15713415
Why do you need salt on the outside of the potato, when it's the insides that need the salt after they are cooked? You do know you're supposed to cut the potato into quarters, Mash the potato a bit with a fork, add salt and mash it some more. You eat the skin with the potato. No need for it on the outside. That's just ridiculous and an excuse to use more KOSHER salt. The Js love people like you.

>>15713436
Potatoes wrapped in foil in a very hot atmosphere? Isn't that the same as baking?

>>15713442
I'm good thanks. I use regular cheap salt and just cut it open with a knife. Less effort.
Here look, I made another one. It deflated a bit.
You guys can enjoy your baked potatoes but for me it's microwaved.

>>15713436
So you don't eat the skins then? They are not the same. I've heard some people microwave water in a cup for a tea or coffee. That's not right either, is it?

>>15713495
Looks like a salmon's pussy.

>>15713495
You should learn that sweet potatoes are not related to potatoes.

>>15712866
>>15712902
retards. microwave for five-ten minutes and finish them off in the oven, after rubbing with olive oil and salt + pepper

>>15713501
I eat the skins however I cook them. I'm saying while microwaved aren't as tasty as baked skins, the inside is just as good.

>>15713495
That's a sweet potato you sped

>>15714193
This but finish it in a pan instead of heating up your entire oven

>>15712639
i mic them to soften them and finish them in the oven for the last 10 min to give them that proper baked feel
