General Question  Coloma's avatar  Does anyone know how to make
a really good baked potatoe in the microwave?  Asked by Coloma
(40600 points ) June 19th, 2014  I have never really cared for
microwave baked potatoes but am wondering if anyone knows how to

for turning out a good baked potato?  Observing members: 0
