Need to boil potatoes quickly? Using the microwave can save time and effort, making it easy to prepare perfectly boiled potatoes for your dishes in just a few steps. 

Step 1

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. 

Step 2

Using a fork, poke holes around each potato to allow steam to escape while cooking. 

Step 3

Arrange the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, ensuring they aren’t overlapping. 

Step 4

Pour a small amount of water into the bowl (about ¼ cup) and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap. 

Step 5

Cook on high for 5-7 minutes, checking halfway. Once soft, let them cool for a minute before using.
