I tried that last night. I guessed ten minutes for a fairly large russet
and it seemed about right. To my uneducated palate it tasted enough like
a baked potato, but I prefer the potato with a thick crisp skin - easier
to eat. But I guess that goes with the short cooking time. All in all,
I'll continue to make them in the MW. Thanks.
