Can you do a small baked potato in this?

Yes, actually you can do two baked potatoes in it. Sometimes, I even cube the potatoes into chunks to cook. Then, I put butter or sour cream on the potatoes once I take them out of the microwave. Hope that this helps!

I did not try baking potatoes in this gadget. All I can share with you is that it is not worth the price.

You can put less water in it and that way it will be thicker, to spoon over a baked potato. I used it as a sort of creamy, cheesy pasta sauce. It worked out well. :)

It does a great job in mashing potatoes. If you are only making a small amount a hand mixer would do just fine.

yes you can there are even recipes in the booklet! You can also steam vegetables in it is a steamer basket. I love mine.

yes you can bake a pie in this but you have to use a lower temp and watch it often, the top will burn quickly, you can use your regular sized pie pan. I often cook pizza in mine, but I only do 2 or 3 slices at once, I like the edges crispy.

Yes. Just click ON and click BAKE - then click arrow down until you get to Potato. When you click on bake it shows you all kinds of things and the time required. Find what you want and click Start - then it just gets right to work. The advantage is you don't need to use a big oven for a potato! You of course could cook one in a microwave..

I'm sure you could with a smaller potato. Otherwise you could try a mandolin :)

I agree with Maureen M's answer. We use ours a lot and really like it. Our microwave has a baked potato setting but I usually need to add a minute or 2 of time - depending upon the size and # of potatoes.

I wouldn't attempt to to anything that is not the consistency of cooked potatoes. I suggest a meat grinder for meat and poultry.

Yes. A small one. Mostly they are "gourmet" recipes that use the potatoes you cook.It has basically the small instructions that the box has. Does not say what temperature to useto cook the potatoes. You probably noticed it says DO NOT heat on high.

You can, but I mix it with bread crumbs or something else when I fry something. You need to fry at a lower heat than normal or it will burn.

Yes. See info book under bake and roast. I don't have much experience doing potatoes as we normally do them in the microwave. However any other baking we have done is about the same as doing it with the oven in the range or in our previous toaster oven.

You probably could. I'd use some cooking spray on it first. It was a gift to my son and he hasn't tried it yet.

Forget the bag! Sorry...better off getting a nice crisp skin on the potato re the oven at 400 degrees, and a nice fluffy potato interior. What a waste of money with the bag, I know, I bought one.

I have never cooked a sweet potato in it. I cook ordinary potatoes with great results but it depends on the size of them. You need to experiment. For a large or two small, start with 4 minutes and if you need longer, then put them in to finish off.

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

I have not baked a potato in the Breville, but I have baked salmon and heated lots of stuff on the bake setting , so I cannot see why baking a potato would be a problem.
