The Perfect Baked Potato!
I have spent along time trying to cook baked potatoes. I love them in restaurants but every time I cook them?at home they are hard in the middle no matter how long I leave them in the oven.
Last night for the first time I got it right!
Here is what I did. I microwaved them first! Simple isn’t it, 18 minutes in the microwave, then 15 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees centigrade and they come out crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside.
Gerard and I enjoyed them with some chicken and pepper sauce, while Jake loved them with baked beans.
What culianry masterpiece shall I attempt next? Maybe I’ll learn how to poach an egg!

Ooo, what a great idea!! I don’t like nuked potatoes because they lack the crispy crust, but it never occured to me to do both.
