Peel and wash the potatoes and place them dripping wet in a microwave-safe container (with a lid). Add 1 tablespoon of water.
Close the container and cook the potatoes in the microwave for 4 minutes at 700 watts. After the cooking time, do not open the container and microwave, but leave them in the switched-off microwave for 5 minutes. Make a test, if necessary, for larger potatoes, continue cooking (1 - 2 minutes).
Then pour off excess water and process the potatoes further, e.g. Mix with salt, butter and herbs.
Also works with unpeeled potatoes (wash, dripping wet + 1 tablespoon water) than jacket potatoes or
e.g., for potato salad.
If you have more than 2 servings, in my opinion it is not worth making them in the microwave.
Per potato (50 - 70 g) you have to cook for 1 minute at 700 watts. B. If you have 8 potatoes, you have to cook for 8 minutes. The post-cooking time of 5 minutes remains the same.
It`s a quick and easy option for 1 or 2 servings.
The 170 Kcal are calculated for 240 g of peeled potatoes (without any other ingredients).
