Baked Potatoes. How to Cook Them ???

[Muscle Catalyst]

Any Suggestions on how to get around baking them at 365 degrees for 2 hours ????

Do you guys bake them in the micorwave or any other short cuts with cooking times would be great.

You can pre-cook them in a microwave, but punch a lot of holes in them or they will explode. An old roommate of mine used to wet a potato down, wrap it in a plastic wal-mart bag and cook it for 5 or 10 minutes in the microwave and then eat it. I am not sure how they come out though.
