Nuked potatoes tend to steam and get a bit rubbery. However, a few
minutes in the microwave can dramatically shorten the time they need to
be in the oven. I tend to start my potatoes by getting them hot and
just starting to steam, then put them in the big oven for the remaining
time. If it is a really large one, you may need to turn it over midway
in the microwave, as they will get soggy on the bottom side if they sit
in the same position too long, and cook unevenly.
