There are times when you don’t have the access to the gas stove or pressure cooker and you still need to boil potatoes. It is very easy to Boil Potatoes in a Microwave. The method that I have followed doesn’t require any polythene bag or aluminum foil. The time required depends on the power of the microwave but it takes approximately 5-7 minutes to boil the potatoes in a normal microwave.
Disclaimer: The potatoes boiled in the microwave have a texture different from the ones boiled using a pressure cooker, but they work as a good and foolproof substitute in case of urgency /emergency.
Important: Do not forget/ skip to poke the potatoes before placing them into the microwave.
1. Wash the potatoes : Wash the potatoes properly. Make sure they are moist, do not wipe them. Some moisture is essential for boiling the potatoes.
2. Poke the potatoes : Use a fork and poke the potatoes from all sides.
3. Put the potatoes in the microwave : Put potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and place it in the microwave on the highest power for 2-3 minutes. Thereafter just rotate the potatoes and microwave for another 2 minutes. Take them out. Let them cool till workable. Peel and use. Be careful while doing this step. Potatoes will be super hot at this stage.
4. Ready to use : Potatoes are ready to be used.
