Try baked potato recipes that take 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 10 hours

• We tried 10-minute, 1-hour, and 10-hour baked potato recipes to see which one was worth it.
• I thought the 10 minute microwave recipe was good, but I wasn’t a fan of the 10 hour slow cooker.
• My favorite method was the classic oven recipe without foil, which was close to how I was already making them.

As a kid, my mom was usually the quickest to throw baked potatoes in the microwave before we put any 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 that baking the potatoes uncovered and coating them with salt was much better.

There are so many ways to make a baked potato, so I decided to try a few methods. I tested an easy 10-minute microwave recipe, an hour-long baked potato, and a 10-hour method using a slow cooker.
