I can, but the method may be too complex for Kenny. (And for you, come
to think of it.)

LOL! I just tried the suggestion of lightly coating one with oil
No difference from the other one that I can feel.

So how do you it, George? I'm listening.
Tell us your miracle method.

It's not a miracle, dummy. It's just beyond the reach of certain
microwave addicts. Here, it's two steps:

1. Cook potato in microwave.

2. Scoop out pulp and toast skin.

Way, way, way outside the box, I know....

Well done. Now, what was your question? My advanced culinary procedure
entails two (2) steps. I expected it to baffle Gary, but you're at sea
as well?

Wondering if this crisp bit is being mistaken as slightly skin toughening, as
will happen with micro waving.......??? However, I am of the affluent type, and
use a microwaveable potato baker, which can bake up to three potatoes at a
time..

GOD....!!!! Where are you people coming from..... Ancient History.......???
