Preheat the oven to full blast (240℃ should do it)
Stab the potato 3 or 4 times and place on a piece of kitchen roll in the microwave. Microwave on full power for around 5 - 8 minutes until the potato is cooked in the middle. It will be easy to put a fork in once cooked.
You may need to turn it over half way through cooking.
Once microwaved, put it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Again, turn it over half way through.
When cooked, the potato should feel crispy. Cut it in half to make room for the filling.
Add some butter and toppings and serve immediately.

You can do more than one potato at a time of course. The time they go in the microwave may need to increase as follows:

1 Potato - 5-8 mins

2 Potato - 5-8 mins

3 Potato - 7-10 mins

5 Potato - 7-10 mins

6 Potato - 7-10 mins

7 Potato - 8-12 mins
