Easy
I hate the thought of using 1.5 hours of gas or electricity for one potato! To do it in the microwave, prick the skin, wrap in kitchen roll, microwave on full power for about 8 minutes (exact time will vary depending on size of potato and power of oven) then remove kitchen roll, re-wrap in foil and stand for five minutes.

Used different ingredients.
After pricking several times with a fork, I coat the skin in butter & salt. Gives the skin a yummy flavour

Took shortcuts.
About half way through, I knock the temperature up to 200 C and total cooking time is 1hr 15ish.
