I covered mine in a little olive oil and salt before cooking; I also stab them a few times with a sharp knife.I think it was because I was cooking two instead of the normal one, even though they were a bit smaller. The skins were nice and crispy.

Yes I do that too Mart... I fully cook mine in the m/wave, about 5/6 mins each side, then brown/crisp it off under the grill with whatever I'm grilling.

Re: I baked my potatoes for 55 minutes yet they were still hard inside
All this talk of baked potatoes reminded me that there was a large potato in the cupboard that was starting give off shoots and needed using up. I cooked it in the microwave and then put in the oven for 25 minutes to get the skin crispy ..along with some Lincolnshire sausages.Mustard on the sausages with butter and mustard pressed into the baked potato. The third item was baked beans. I enjoyed me dinner very much.
