Baked Potato In Microwave (perfect Every Time!)
  1. Prep the Potato: Scrub the potato clean. Poke it 4-5 times with a fork to prevent bursting.

  2. Season & Add Moisture (Optional): Rub with a little olive oil or butter for a softer skin. Sprinkle with salt for extra flavor.

  3. Microwave on High: 1 potato: 5 mins, flipping halfway; 2 potatoes: 7-8 mins; 3 potatoes: 9-11 mins; 4 potatoes: 12-14 mins.

  4. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork—it should slide in easily.

  5. Rest & Serve: Let it rest for 1-2 minutes to finish steaming. Slice open and fluff with a fork before adding toppings.
