How to Evenly Cook Any Sized Potato in a Microwave - potatoes

Method

• I used 2 medium sized Irish Cobbler potatoes this time.
• It's been 2 weeks since I bought them.
• Wash them well and remove any sprouts if necessary.
• Place them on a microwave-safe dish and fill with about 1-2 cm of water.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Microwave at 500 W for 5 minutes.
• Turn them over and microwave for another 3 minutes.
• (Be careful not to burn yourself!)
• [If only cooking 1 potato] Microwave for 3 minutes, flip over and microwave for another 3 minutes, and then it will be soft.
• [If cooking a large amount or large-sized potatoes] Microwave for 3 minutes, flip over, and repeat.
• They're done once a toothpick can slide right through!
• (If you think that they are just a little too hard, leave them be and they will continue cooking in residual heat.
