Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Wash and Dry Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and drying your potatoes. This helps remove any dirt or debris and ensures a clean surface for cooking. |
| 2. | Microwave Until Done: Place the potato in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 8 minutes, or until the potato is tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and power of your microwave. |
| 3. | Scorch the Skin: For that classic baked potato taste, transfer the cooked potato onto a gas or electric stove burner. Using tongs, rotate the potato over the flame, allowing the skin to char slightly. This step adds a delicious smoky flavor to your potato. |
| 4. | Serve: Once the skin is nicely scorched, remove the potato from the heat and place it on a plate. Slice open the potato, fluff the insides with a fork, and add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, or chives. Serve hot and enjoy your Cheater’s Baked Potato! |
