Microwave potatoes : Cooking potatoes in
the microwave can save you a lot of time, specially when you have little
time and want to prepare a a delicious meal really fast. Cooking potatoes
using the microwave can be a good alternative. And remember, when cooking
using the microwave you should follow some basic
safety guidelines like the ones we have listed below:
Use a microwave safe container.
You will need a medium or large deep container
(depending on how many potatoes you will be using).
If possible, peel and cut your potatoes into quarters.
When you place the potatoes in your microwave safe container, you u
may need to add some water.
For average size potatoes, microwave on high for one minute per potato.
For example, if you have 10 potatoes you
would cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every five minutes to avoid hot
spots.
Once the potatoes are ready, use the potatoes in your favorite
recipe.
If you want to cook home fries,
just cut the potatoes in smaller pieces, cook in the microwave, and when
ready fry them in a deep frying pan with your favorite ingredients, like
onions, peppers, etc.
If you want to cook mashed potatoes
(watch the cooking video below), you just need to add butter and milk
(to taste) to the cooked potatoes.
