Preparation method
1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick the skins with a fork.
2. Cook on full power for 20 minutes, then allow to stand for 5 minutes. Test with a fork: the cooking time will depend on the size of the potatoes. One potato will take 5 – 7 minutes depending on size but several will, of course, take longer.
