Scrubbed

• Select potatoes that are about the same size and scrub them clean
• Prick a few holes in the potatoes to prevent them from bursting open
• Place the potatoes alongside one another on a paper towel in a microwave-safe dish, without covering them
• How long it will take before the potatoes are done depends upon the size of the potato and the type of potato. On average, preparing 500 grams of potatoes will take about 7 minutes at a setting of 1000 Watt
• Once cooked, you can season the potatoes to taste with nutmeg, pepper and/or salt.

Peeled

• Peel the potatoes and place them in a microwave-safe dish or bowl
• Place the potatoes next to each other as much as possible
• Pour two to three tablespoons of water over the potatoes and cover the bowl using, for example, microwave foil
• How long it will take before the potatoes are done depends upon the size of the potato and the type of potato. On average, preparing
• 500 grams of potatoes will take about 7 minutes at a setting of 1000 Watt
• Remove the potatoes from the dish once they are done and allow them to dry for a few minutes
• Once cooked, you can season the potatoes to taste with nutmeg, pepper and/or salt.
