Introduction
- If you don't have the time to bake your potato for an hour (or are just too hungry to wait), it is possible to bake your potato in the microwave. While the process for baking a potato in the microwave isn't incredibly different than in a regular oven, there are a few notable differences that you should take note of. Here's how to microwave your potato:
Microwave Your Potato
- Step 1: Wash the potato thoroughly under cold water and then dry it out. Scrub it gently to remove any excess dirt or dust.
- Step 2: Poke a number of holes in the potato with a fork. This will allow the steam that accumulates in the potato to vent out (so your potato doesn't explode). Try to spread the holes out evenly throughout the potato to make for even cooking.
- Step 3: Place a paper towel over a microwave-safe plate (Make sure it's not plastic!) and place the potato on top.
- Step 4: Microwave your potato:
- Large potato: On HIGH for about 5 or 6 minutes.
- Medium potato: On HIGH for about 4 minutes.
- Small potato: On HIGH for 3 minutes.
- For multiple potatoes: On HIGH for 7 minutes or more.
- Step 5: Flip the potato about half-way through microwaving so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
- Step 6: Let the potato stand for a couple of minutes after you've taken it out of the oven. The steam that is still trapped in the potato will help it finish cooking.
- Step 7: Slice it open and enjoy!
