- Place your potato rack into the microwave.
- Microwave for 10-12 minutes depending on your microwave wattage.
- Remove from the microwave and do a fork test to make sure the jacket potato is fork tender.
- Then serve with butter and your favourite toppings.
Notes
- Fork Test – You can also do the fork test from inside the microwave and then you don’t have to keep getting your potatoes out to check if they are done.
