I doubt that they will taste like just baked... and you can cook a
potato from raw in a microwave oven in 3-4 minutes. And a person can
bake a bunch of spuds and refrigerate for later.. in fact whenever I
bake potatoes I bake the entire five pound bag, they can easily be
reheated later but I like them cold too, I like to dice them into a
salad. Cold baked potatoes make a very satisfying and healthful snack
too, and I like them plain, cold it's like eating a piece of fruit.

But that's steamed. You cannot bake anything in a microwave oven.

I cook potatoes often in a microwave, but I'd never confuse them with
baked... I wouldn't confuse them with boiled either, boiled potatoes
are far better because they're more evenly cooked. I'll nuke a couple
of spuds (becaue it's quick and no pot to clean) but have never yet
had one that cooked evenly or any two that cooked to the same degree
of doneness.

I think you need to take a hint and snack on plain cold potatoes
instead of all that salty crap you pig out on. Potaotes are very low
calorie and high in nutrition... of course if you're gonna blend
potatoes with your ham, olives, anchovie, and tons of mayo then you're
just ****ing yourself. Well, if you can get your tits to swell
instead of your fingers... heheheh
