Loaded Baked Potato

 Baked potatoes are usually baked in the oven for about an hour, but this recipe uses the microwave and is much faster and comes out really well.  Place one potato in the microwave oven and hit “potato” cooking button. If pot potato button is not an option, cook on high for 5 minutes and check for doneness. If a wooden skewer doesn’t go in easily, cook for one more minute. When the potato is done, take it out and cool for a while. Cut in half and  cook it in the toaster oven until the top is slightly brown.

In the United States, “loaded” potatoes mean to put on a lot of condiments, butter, sour cream, cheese, chives and bacon. When you put everything on the potato, it’s fully loaded. It’s high in calories and you may feel like you are clogging your arteries, but it’s perfectly delicious.
