Baked potato dinner (thelemmy.club)

The price of a baked potato at a restaurant is stupid high. Unless you don't have an hour. Then the price is completely reasonable. It sucks. But if you have an hour you can make a baked potato. Two even. And make them very unhealthy with toppings.

Cost per person $1.01

Do you microwave the sweet potato dry? Or do you soak it in water first? I tend to wash them before cooking so I wS wondering if I should dry them out first or just put them straight into the microwave.

I pierce them with a knife a few times and then slather them in bacon fat and dust with salt. This is if I use a microwave or an oven. This is for potatoes or sweet potatoes. It gets that skin all nice and crispy.

I wouldn't feel a need to soak it, but I wouldn't worry if it's damp either, maybe just a quick pat dry with a kitchen towel. I feel like enough moisture would come out through the holes in the skin it wouldn't make much difference.
