Daily Express shows how to cook a jacket potato without an oven<\/h3>\n

Jacket potatoes can take upwards of an hour to cook in the oven and somewhat close to that in the air fryer.<\/p>\n

However, Kathryn Doherty, a cookbook author and owner of Family Food On The Table blog has shared her recipe for baked potatoes, claiming that they come out \u201cperfect every time\u201d in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Rather than using the oven or even an air fryer to cook jacket potatoes, Kathryn uses the microwave.<\/p>\n

To see if the microwave can really do a good job of a baked potato, I decided to test it out for lunch.<\/p>\n

Using what I already had in the house, I tested the hack out on a baking potato. However, if you’re seeking out a specific type of potato to use then Maris Piper or Kind Edwards are good choices.<\/p>\n

I started by thoroughly washing the potato, poking each side of it six times with a fork and placing it on a microwaveable plate.<\/p>\n

The next step was to cook the potato in the microwave. The exact timing will depend on your microwave power, potato size and the number of potatoes.<\/p>\n

For two medium-sized potatoes it is recommended to start with 10 minutes, for four medium-sized potatoes start with 15 to 16 minutes and for a single potato, start with six minutes.<\/p>\n

As I was using a single potato that was relatively small, I put it in the microwave for six minutes.<\/p>\n
