Want easy??? Cant get easier then this, and taste healthy, simple and yummy. If you loved baked potatoes, this is how its done 🙂

Baked potato with sour cream in it

Tip: Wrapping the potato in aluminum foil will produce a soft skin (not crispy). Technically this is steaming rather than baking and the light, flaky texture will be missing. The texture of a steamed potato is entirely different from that of a perfect baked potato.
