Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 russet potato medium
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • Greek yogurt hot sauce, avocado, salsa, paprika, or butter, optional toppings, shredded, crumbled, chopped
  • sour cream
  • cheese
  • Bacon
  • chives
  • fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes clean under running water. Using a fork, poke each potato 5 to 6 times to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  2. Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high. Adjust the cooking time based on the number of potatoes: 5 to 6 minutes for one, 10 to 11 minutes for two, or 15 to 16 minutes for four. Use a towel or oven mitt to check if they're soft enough.
  3. Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave, make a slit on top, fluff the insides with a fork, and add your favorite healthy toppings. DEVOUR!
