Instructions
- Scrub and dry the potato, then pierce it all over with a fork.
- Place the potato directly into the microwave, ensuring it is not touching any other potatoes if cooking more than one.
- Cook the potato for 3 to 4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
- Check for doneness by piercing the potato with a knife; it should feel tender.
- If the potato is not tender, continue cooking in 1-minute increments until done.
- For crispy skin, rub the cooked potato with olive oil and salt, then bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 10 to 15 minutes.
