So how do the restaurants do it?
I know lots of them use microwaves to cook them, but I tired it today and the skin on the potatoes still tasted like dirt (earth/soil) after I washed them for a good minute or two.
Anybody know how to make these correctly?
FYI: my oven is broken so I cannot use the oven to baked them
Thanks

I don't do them myself but at my dads he cooks Idaho "baking" potatos in the microwave and they come out perfect. I do not think other potatos will cook so well in the microwave. All he does is put holes in it with a fork and put it on a plate. Are you putting holes in it? Are you putting it up off the bottom?

Wash them in warm water for 1 minute then using a fork poke the potato roughly 7 times in different place. Then put them into a bowl, cover the potatoes with cling wrap and put on high for 5-10 minutes. And viola you have good taters microwave made.

there are specific potatoes that you can buy that are wrapped in plastic wrap. They are meant to go in the microwave. There are also sweet potatoes that are wrapped in plastic wrap as well. MMMmmmm, microwaveable sweet poatatoes

It is just a brush that we use to clean the dishes. Similar to any of these http://www.nextag.com/dish-brush/search-html

Most people here are right...poke holes in them and wrap them in a napkin....the amount of time in the nuker depends on the nuker itself....if you leave them too long you will make a mess....you will get a huge cloud of smoke and nothing but ashes in your microwave...I learned that a long time ago....after I open them up I pour homemade salsa into them....I eat the inside like that....as far as the skin is concerned I like to stuff them with shredded chicken or homemade baked beans....kinda a potato skin taco....tastes really good

At the local supermarket "PriceChopper" I can get microwavable individually wrapped sweet potatoes. They are thoroughly cleaned and wrapped in a very tight plastic film that you microwave them in. When they come out they are soft and very easy to eat. I love em. Delicious! They are made by a company called 5 GIRLS PRODUCE, LLC. http://www.5girlsproduce.com
