Prep Time: 2 min | Cook Time: 8 min | Total Time: 10 min

Serves: 5 boiled potatoes

Ingredients:

4-5 medium-sized potatoes

2-3 tbsp water

Other items:

Microwave

1 microwave-safe bowl with a lid

Cling wrap, optional

Method:

Rinse the potatoes. Peel and chop them. Make sure they are all of the same sizes. This will ensure even cooking.

Add them to the microwave-safe bowl. Pour water. Cover with a lid. Make sure the lid has an opening so that the steam can escape.

If you don’t have a lid, then cover the bowl with a cling/plastic wrap. Poke the plastic with a fork or knife and make a few holes. This will help the steam to escape and prevent it from exploding.

Microwave on high for 7-8 minutes. Stir 1-2 times while microwaving.

Take the bowl out and check if the potatoes are fully cooked. If not, microwave for a few more seconds.

Perfectly cooked potatoes are ready!

Note: Depending upon the quality of the potatoes and the microwave the cooking time might change.
