Quick Microwave Moist Potatoes

Clean baking potatoes

Prick the potatoes with a fork twice (or the potatoes may burst)

Spray with cooking spray (like Pam it makes the skin tender)

Sprinkle the outside of the potatoes with garlic salt or seasoning to your preference

Space potatoes 1 inch apart around the edge of a paper towel covered turn-able (to absorb moisture)

Cook per your microwave directions

Enjoy your favorite toppings on your "moist micro-waved potatoes". In just minutes rather than 45 minutes to hour in a conventional oven.

TRY PUTTING YOUR POTATOES IN A BROWN PAPER BAG
AFTER YOU HAVE PREPARED THEM. SOMEONE TOLD ME THIS WORKS GREAT AND YOU CAN CUT DOWN ON THE COOKING TIME IN THE MICROWAVE.
LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU.

I balence mine on a coffee cup filled 1/2 way with water. I don' t know why? Someone told me to.
Look forward to trying these other methods! Thanks!

I do this but the last step I do is to put the potatoes in a "zip loc" bag. Do not seal the bag completely. Saran wrap (individually) will work also. Good luck.
