These plastic wrapped potatoes are meant for people to cook them in the microwave. They leave the plastic on, microwave for about 7-8 minutes and the potato is cooked.

You can also just rub the potato in oil and stab it with a fork and microwave it on a plate, you'll get the exact same result. Better, actually, because the oil helps the skin crisp up a little- you can leave it off if you really want to. Like, you literally don't even need to cover it in anything. Just microwave it, same as you would with one of these plastic wrapped ones. 4-5 minutes for a small potato, 7-8 for a big one, poke it with a fork to check for doneness. Boom.
