Don't taste as good though, can't beat crispy skins

Cook 'em through in the microwave and crisp the skins in the oven. You'll
still use less power as the oven will only be on for 15 mins rather than
the 45 to an hour for baking spuds normally.

Yeah, but it's still not right though, probably because the skin gets
sort of surface crispy, but you don't get a nice properly thick and
crispy skin like what we like in this house
