For an extra crispy skin, try rubbing the potato with a little olive oil before salting and baking. If you're short on time, you can microwave the potato for a few minutes before baking to reduce the overall cooking time. However, the texture will not be the same as a fully oven-baked potato. Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika can add a delicious twist to the potato skin. Leftover baked potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
