A perfect baked potato from I'm Just Here For The Food: Version 2.0 by Alton Brown

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I forget where I saw this hack, but my new method is to microwave a cleaned potato (poked) on high for 3 minutes. Then coat the potato with ghee (spray makes it easy) and heavily salt and pepper. Put into a toaster oven at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. (Adjust microwave time for larger or smaller potatoes.)

    So it's funny how you learn something as a kid and just stick with it. My parents used to wrap potatoes in foil and bake them. And so I did this for years until the last time I decided to bake a potato. I was thinking that my parents weren't the best cooks so I looked it up on the interwebs and figured old Alton would know what to do. This method made a perfectly baked potato with a crisp tasty skin. I'll be using this method from now on.
