What You’ll Need

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Water
  • Microwave-safe dish with a lid

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Choose the Right Potatoes

Start by selecting 4 medium-sized potatoes. Ensure they are clean and free from any dirt. It’s better to choose potatoes with similar sizes so they cook evenly.

Step 2: Prep the Potatoes

Pierce each potato a few times using a fork or a sharp knife. This will allow steam to escape during the cooking process and prevent any potential potato explosions in the microwave.

Step 3: Add Water and Salt

Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and add enough water to cover them. Sprinkle salt over the potatoes according to your preference. Remember, you can always adjust the saltiness later, so start with a conservative amount.

Step 4: Cover and Microwave

Place the lid securely on the dish to create a steamy environment for the potatoes. Microwave on high for about 8-10 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are tender and fully cooked. If needed, microwave them for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 5: Allow to Cool

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel. Be cautious as it will be hot. Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes before handling to avoid burning yourself.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Your perfectly boiled potatoes are now ready to be served! You can enjoy them as a side dish, use them in a salad, or even have them on their own with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of herbs. The options are endless!

So, the next time you’re short on time but still want a satisfying potato dish, remember this quick and easy microwave recipe. Your taste buds will thank you!
