How to Boil Potatoes in the Microwave step by step

2. I used 2 medium-sized potatoes which weighed 230 g. Microwave for 3 minutes, turn them over so the opposite side is on top, microwave for 1 minute. Once a toothpick can slide through easily, they're done. If they are still hard, microwave for another 30 seconds..
3. While still hot, use a paper towel or cloth to peel off the skin. (Be careful not to burn yourself.) It will peel nicely with a knife as well. Once they cool down a little, you can peel them with your bare hands too..
