At this point, dinner is roast potatoes. I might add some salmon and veg, but straight potato is sounding pretty alright for now.

May I interest you in my foolproof microwave potato guide?

Yes!?

I'm so glad you asked! It's SO easy and the results are 95% as good as an ovened potato!

Step one: Wash your potato. We don't want no dirty boys in our microwave do we?

Step two: get you favourite knife and give your potatoes a good ol' stabbing. About 8 stabs, all around it. Your potato should now be dead.

Step three: place potatoes on a microwave safe dish. Insert into microwave. For one good sized potato I'd give it about 6 minutes, then flip it and give it another 5 minutes. Add about 2 minutes total per potato.

Step four: let cool for a minute or two, remove from microwave, and cut and top to your needs.

Step five: enjoy!

Step six: by this stage you will have come to understand that microwaving potato is the best way to cook them, and it's your duty to spread the word!

No need to thank me. Just doing the good work of our Lord and saviour, Je- the Microwave

Hey, I had KFC for tea tonight too! Small world!

Mine was passable, but the popcorn chicken wasn't crunchy enough

I see no issue with this. Bit of butter, chow down.
