Okay so my potatoes must have been bigger than suggested... I cooked my potato for 9mins and had to cook for another 2mins. I pulled my bacon out after the first 2 mins because it was over cooking (BTW, I use turkey bacon). Then I added my cheeses and bacon bits for 30secs and served. Yummy 😋

If your potatoe(s) are/is a bit big for cooking the the microwave give it a little more then 7-9 minutes since things to dont cool evenly in the microwave.

I like to pan fry my bacon as I find it gets chewy in the microwave. Also be careful when cooking your potato as one time mine was in for 9 minutes and it over cooked and was inedible. Still absolutely delicious though and way quicker than baking a potato
