Baked Potatoes - Sibyl's

And microwaving in plastic wrap also steams it.  Personally, if I'm not
using the oven for other things, and only want a baked potato, I just scrub
it well and put it in the microwave naked-- about 10-12 minutes for my
mike, depending on the size of the potato.  This makes a dry skin, just the
way I like it, and the inside is plenty moist.  If I want to get fancy, I
might brush the skin with olive oil or butter before I put it in.  I don't
notice the potato losing any flavor this way, though I don't notice
potatoes _having_ much flavor of their own in the first place!  ;^)  Flavor
comes with what I put on it afterward, which might be anything.  Sometimes
I take it out, split it, and put some cheese in the split, sometimes with
other things depending on what's handy, and put it back in for a minute or
two to melt the cheese.  If you like sour cream on it, yogurt is a nice
low-fat alternative.
