Method 7

  1. 01

    Prick and wrap in wet paper towel: Rinse the potato, removing any attached tendrils. Prick it all over with a fork and wrap it in a wet paper towel.

  2. 02

    Cook, flip, then cook again: Microwave on High power using the following chart for timing, making sure to flip and continue cooking on the second side: Small (6 to 8 ounces, 2″ thick): 2 to 3 minutes per side

  3. 03

    Medium (9 to 12 ounces, 2″ thick): 3 to 4 minutes per side

  4. 04

    Large (13 to 16 ounces, 3″ thick): 4 to 5 minutes per side

  5. 05

    Extra Large (1 ¼ pound, 3″ thick): 6 to 7 minutes per side

  6. 06

    Two potatoes: Double the cook time; start checking a few minutes before to assess doneness

  7. 07

    Assess doneness and continue if necessary: Prick both sides to assess doneness, taking care because it is hot. If the fork goes in all the way with no give, it is done. Otherwise, continue cooking at 1 minute intervals until tender.
