Instructions

Wash potatoes thoroughly.
Poke them with a fork a few times (this is optional, but makes me feel better) ;)
Place in the microwave - no container needed. I put them on a paper towel, but you don't have to.
Cook on high for about 10 minutes.
Flip each potato (careful it will be hot)
Cook on high for another 10 minutes.
They should feel soft to touch when they are done. 20 minutes was plenty with 4 big ones we had. You may need to increase or decrease time a little depending on how many potatoes you are cooking.

Notes

Baked potatoes are the easiest meal idea! Pair with a salad or fill your potato with a meat dish, and you have your entire course. Delicious and extremely budget friendly.
