How to Boil Potatoes in a Microwave

cookpad.japan
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

I wanted to make some potato salad for lunch, so I thought I could make a small amount in a short time using the microwave.
Our microwave has a setting for root vegetables, but I played around with it to find out what works best for those without such a setting.
I tried out various things, but the amount of time it takes varies.

At first, I wrote that it takes about 5 minutes for a 200 g potato, but it ended up a little tough, so I changed it to 3 1/2 minutes for 100 g. Recipe by mielle

Steps

  1. 1

    Wash the potato well, then wrap it up in plastic wrap. Wrap it loosely.

  2. 2

    Cook in the microwave for about 3 1/2 minutes. It will be hot, so let it sit in the microwave for about 5 minutes. The skin will become shriveled, but that's okay.

  3. 3

    Once you can hold it, remove the skin through the plastic wrap, a paper towel, or a dish cloth.

  4. 4

    When washing the potato, cut off the eyes. If cooking a large potato, rotate it mid-way through cooking.
