Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Russet Potato (Medium)
  • olive oil
  • salt

Instruction

  • Wash your potato and prick it with a fork several times.
  • Brush the potato with olive oil and place it in a paper bag. If you don't have a paper bag, wrap your potato in a paper towel or even plastic wrap.
  • Place your potato in the microwave and cook it at 100% power for 5-6 minutes. Then, carefully remove the potato and give it a squeeze to check for doneness.
  • Return to the microwave in 1-minute intervals until cooked to your desired tenderness. Typically a medium-sized potato takes about 8 minutes. However, this can vary based on your microwave and how many potatoes you are cooking at once.
  • Once your potato is finished, cut in half lengthwise and top with butter, cheese, salt, whatever toppings you desire and enjoy.
