Scrub the potatoes. Poke each potato 5-6 times with a fork - I do it a few times on each side. Place potatoes directly onto the microwave plate.

Microwave on high. The time depends on the number of potatoes and the size of your potatoes. For 1 medium-sized potato, start with 5-6 minutes. For 2 medium-sized potatoes, start with 10-11 minutes microwave time. For 4 potatoes, start with 15-16 minutes in the microwave. When the time is up, get a towel or oven mitt and gently squeeze the sides of the potato. If it gives without resistance and starts to open up, it's ready. If it still seems a bit firm, return to the microwave for another minute at a time until tender.

Quick and Easy Potato Wedges

potatoes

olive oil

garlic powder

tsp ground paprika

Italian seasoning

tsp salt

Parmesan cheese (to taste)

Rinse and scrub potatoes so there is no dirt on them.

In a mixing bowl (you will be tossing potato wedges in this bowl so make sure it is somewhat deep) combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt.

Slice potatoes lengthwise into desired size (I cut mine into eighths).

Place slices into bowl with seasoning and toss to coat.

Lay coated potato wedges in a microwave safe casserole dish and microwave on high power for about 5 minutes.

Remove (be careful dish will be hot), flip potato wedges and microwave on high for an additional 5 minutes or until tender.

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, enjoy!

Simple &amp; easy, soft and delicious yukon gold yellow potatoes cooked in microwave quickly in few minutes.

Yukon Gold Potatoes ((yellow potatoes))

salt (or as needed)

canola oil

black pepper powder (adjust

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).

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

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).

Microwave in high for 3 minutes.

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

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.

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!

Prep the Potato: Scrub the potato clean. Poke it 4-5 times with a fork to prevent bursting.

Have been making my baked potatoes this way for years. Always come out great. You clever thing, you. 

Only one bit of advice: when oiling the potato make sure it’s bone dry. The water reacts with the oil and starts popping in the microwave. Never a good thing. Can possibly break the microwave, not that I’ve ever done that of course…

Of coure baked potatoes are good in the oven,  But, these are just as good.
Why turn the oven on for that long on a summer day.  Thank you so much.
I followed every step.
