Hit my 50th microwaved baked potato this month and realized I've perfected the 4 minute lunch.

Found out a 99 cent russet with store brand butter and salt actually tastes better than the $8 loaded potato at the diner near my job - has anyone else figured out that cheap spuds are secretly elite?

Whoa, four minutes though? You gotta let that potato soak up the heat a bit more or it's gonna have that weird crunchy core thing going on. I mean, I get the appeal of a cheap spud but calling it "perfected" feels like a stretch, it's still just a microwaved potato, right?

Nah man I was totally with you until I tried pricking the skin and letting it rest for a full minute after microwaving. Changed everything.
