Thank you for making the video short and to the point. So often the same video would be 20 minutes, starting with the history of the potato.

The best part was not even the recipe but the face reflection 😂

I was fully smiling and supporting this video until he added...mustard. You must be Jason in real life

[dannydunne]

I was with you up to drying the potato but then I usually leave the potato moist, wrap it in a paper towel, then bake it, in the microwave oven. It is done beautifully, and I can top it with my choices. I don't like mustard, so that doesn't go on mine. God bless.

The mask in the microwave window got me 🤣

Thank you for a GREAT tip. I have been doing it wrong for years. Wrapped in paper towel gave varying results.

OK....after rinsing the it on top of a dry paper towel, 3 pieces if you have the tear a piece kind, then put about a teaspoon of olive oil on both sides of same and then put some salt and pepper on top and use the course style and then wrap the potato with the paper towel. 5 minutes is good and leave it wrapped for at least 2 minutes. a nice slit down the top like they said and then squish it open a little and put butter and a little Sour Cream in on top of the butter and a little more normal pepper on top and then sprinkle some fresh cut up chives on top~~~~and NOW you have a Fantastic Baked Potato to TALK ABOUT!!!

This how Jason Voorhees bakes his potatoes.

I will always stick a toothpick into the middle of the potato and make sure the inside is soft, then it's done. Then I put mine into the toaster oven for about 5 minutes and get it nice and crispy.

I have never seen mustard on a baked potato and I don't know how I feel about that

[iamfuckingyourwaifuandther]

[evelynrodriguez]

Thank you for this slow step by step video on how to do it in a microwave, I was nervous to try it.

[BruceRylan]

I’m not making this without putting the same mask on. It keeps things on an even keel. 😂

the caucastity of this man to put mustard on a baked potato

Close after trying many methods I settled on 1. wash 2. Poke twice, from one side with a narrow blade knife going roughly 1/2 way through. 3. Rewet the potato and wrap very well with micro-proof cling film. Cook for 5 minutes on high, wait 3-4 minutes then flip and cook another 3-5 minutes. Depending on the size of the spud cook times may need to be extended by 1-3 minutes per side on a really big spud or reduced for a small one.
