Steps

1

Preheat oven to 220°c
2

Remove any bad bits and clean. prick lightly all over with a fork
3

Place in microwave spaced apart. 2 mins for each potato eg 2 potatoes 4mins or 4 potatoes 8mins. turn potatoes and repeat. if the potatoes are not done repeat steps until soft to the touch
4

Place on baking tray drizzle with oil and bake for 10 mins per side until dark golden and crispy
5

Traditionally served cut across the top with a cross and press inwards at the 4 corners for it to open at the top (use a tea towel if too hot) and knob of butter on each. my favourite thing to do is to smother with cheesy beans
6

Other great toppings are tuna mayo, prawn marie rose or casserole covering the potatoes and topped with cheese always a winner
7

Or for a quick small portion of mashed potato follow steps 2 and 3. remove skin and mash with butter and milk
