I made 10-minute, 1-hour, and 10-hour baked potatoes, and I no longer trust methods that don't involve an oven

  • I tried recipes for 10-minute, 1-hour, and 10-hour baked potatoes to see which was worth it.
  • I thought the 10-minute microwave recipe was fine but wasn't a fan of the 10-hour slow-cooker one.

Growing up, it was usually fastest for my mom to throw baked potatoes in the microwave before we piled toppings on them.

When I struck out on my own, I started wrapping them in foil and throwing them in the oven for about an hour — until I discovered baking potatoes uncovered and coating them in salt.

There are so many ways to bake a potato, so I decided to try a few methods. I tested an easy 10-minute recipe made in the microwave, a one-hour potato baked in the oven, and a 10-hour method using a slow cooker.
