To be 100% honest, that's just the way to go, lazy or not.
After years of only making baked potatoes in the microwave, about two years ago I decided, "Fuck it, I'm over-achieving today. I'm gonna make real baked potatoes. Baked. In the goddamn oven. Like a real chef. Hell yeah."
It was awful, took forever, had to bake the snot out of them, and in the end they were horribly overcooked on the outside and still 'fookin RAW' in the center.
Complete waste of time and effort.
I could have made them AND ate them AND cleaned up...TWICE, in the time they spent in the oven.
I'll never do baked potatoes any other way than the microwave ever again.
This is my opinion too - you might be able to convince me to roast it in the air fryer, but I'm more likely to cook it in the microwave and then just do a minute in the air fryer to crisp it up (our oven's broiler/grill is broken, otherwise I'd crisp it up under that)
Unless I'm making jacket potatoes for more than 5 people (in which case a big baking tray in the oven makes sense) the microwave is just so fool proof for a cooked spud.
