Ingredients
- 1 large potato
- 1/2 tsp oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- Thoroughly wash the potato, and remove any eyes or sprouts. Prick a few times all over with a fork.
- Place on a microwave-safe plate, and cook in the microwave for around 6-10 minutes (depending on the size of the potato), until the centre is almost entirely cooked and the skin is just starting to wrinkle. Turn over halfway through cooking.
- Drizzle the potato lightly with oil, and rub it all over the skin.
- Bake the potato until the skin has reached your desired level of crispiness - anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.
