Is there a trick to cooking potato in the microwave?
I'm thinking of cooking some in the microwave before using it in a potato bake. But I have never used the microwave for potato before...

Use the potato option if you have it but put it in a bowl half filled with water.
What the water does is help prevent dehydration.
No potato option? Try the veggie option but 1.5 times as long.
One medium size potato takes around 15 minutes with 1000 watt microwave.

@SW-User Many microwaves now have potato or veggie options. They alternate between high and low powers so they do not need to be poked like some have mentioned.
Doing your way works as well yet is more time consuming. You have to watch it and carefully time it or it will explode.
