Love me some baked potatoes. Buttered baked potatoes. Loaded baked potatoes. Broccoli and cheese baked potatoes. Brisket baked potatoes. You get the picture right? Right. What you don't know is that I have never ever made homemade baked potatoes. Never. Ever. With this cold weather upon us, now is the time for The BEST Baked Potato. Her words, not mine.
Modifications Made:
NONE. I followed to an exact T. Even with the two step cooking method of half baked, then butter and salt, and bake again.

Scaled for Likability: Great
Yup, baked potatoes are still time consuming and not as good as McAlister's. But these skins were soft and pliable (I ate all of mine and the teens') but the insides were dry on the outside next to the skin (too done?) while moist on the inside (just right?) Oh, well. As with all microwave baked potatoes extra butter cures any dried out spots. Top with greasy cheese, green onions, bacon, and sour cream and they were GREAT!
