Quick Baked Potatoes

To make quick baked potatoes just follow these quick simple steps.

Select as many potatoes as you need for your meal.

Wash all of the potatoes well. Using a fork, prick the potato deeply in at least 5 places for each potato.

Pour a tablespoon of oil into the palm of your hand. Coat the potato with the oil completely.

Once all of the potatoes are coated with oil, sprinkle lightly with salt.

Place no more than 5 potatoes in the microwave oven on a couple of pieces of folded up paper towell and cook on high for about 2.5 minutes per potato. (2 potatoes = 5 minutes)

While the potatoes are cooking, tear off a square of aluminum foil for each potato.

When the potatoes are done cooking remove each from the oven and wrap well with the aluminum foil.

Place on the counter and let rest for 15 minutes or so while you finish preparing your meal.

When you are ready to serve, remove the foil and break open. Serve with condiments of choice.
