âť“ FAQs
Can I microwave baked potatoes instead?
Yes! Microwave for speed, but the skin won’t be crispy. For best results, finish in a 400°F oven for 5–10 minutes.
How do I store leftovers?
Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
