Ingredients
1 medium russet potato
Directions
Rinse the potato under cool running water and scrub the skin clean with a vegetable brush or cloth.
Using a fork or sharp knife, pierce the potato all over 6 to 8 times to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the potato on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 7 to 9 minutes, turning it over halfway through.
The potato is done when it yields easily to gentle pressure with a fork and a knife slides through the center without resistance.
Remove carefully from the microwave using oven mitts and let rest for 1 minute before serving.
