Step 1

Cut the potatoes in half and cut through the skin of the potatoes to make a few cuts across the potatoes (you have to pierce the potatoes through the skin a little, but not too deep).

Step 2

Add the oil, garlic powder and salt and mix in with the potatoes.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a good quality microwave safe plate (do not use plastic plates or paper plates, I recommend using good quality microwaveable ceramic plates).

Step 4

Microwave in high for 3 minutes.

Step 5

Give a couple of minutes of cooling time, then flip the potatoes and microwave in high for another 3 more minutes.

Step 6

After giving a cool off time again for a couple of minutes, microwave for another 1 more minute so the potatoes will turn soft and delicious with the perfect texture.

Step 7

Allow the cooked potatoes to cool down as the potatoes will be really hot at this point, slightly slice and top with black pepper powder or add shredded cheese or butter (or any of your favorite seasonings), serve warm!
