smack them in the microwave for 10 -15 minutes

but u can't beat a spud done properly in an over.

poke the spud with a fork and pleace in an oven at about 150 degrees C for about an hour

smother the thing with baked beans and tuna, maybe some cottage cheese and you have a great bulking meal!

reminds me of university really hahaha

Here is a great way to prepare baked potatoes:

Wash the potato and shake dry it (make sure it is still wet). Wrap the potato in heavy duty saran wrap and place in the microwave for 4-6 minutes depending on the size of the potato. After the time is up, leave the potato in the saran wrap and wrap it in a dish towell for 2-3 minutes. Then place back in the microwave for 4-6 minutes again (typically a minute or two less that the first round of heat). After the time is up, pick up the potato in the saran wrap with the towell and squeez it--you'll feel it break apart from the peeling, you'll know when it's done! Unwrap it, cut it in half, add a little butter or butter buds, add some lowfat or nonfat cottage cheese (delicious on baked potatoes), salt, slice of diced turkey, chives, and salsa. Enjoy!!! Trust me, this makes a damn good potato in no time.

you guys should look into microwaving foods for long periods, especially in plastic containers.....
