How to cook potatoes in the microwave
To prepare cooked potatoes in the microwave you must follow these steps:
– Clean and place the potato with its skin on a microwave-safe plate.
– Wrap each potato in plastic wrap.
– Heat each potato separately in the microwave for about four minutes.
During cooking, Arguiñano used two potatoes, so it took him about eight minutes to cook them. In addition, he insisted that plates or containers that have something metallic should not be used, since “they can break.” According to the cook, 150-gram potatoes should be used. “If the potato is very large, there are still problems, but with this size it takes four minutes to cook each potato,” explains Arguiñano.
Next, it remains only to wait for the potatoes to cool down. Also, peeling the potato skin by hand will be much easier. When you have peeled the potato you will have the garnish for any dish in just a few minutes.
