How to Cook Potatoes in the Microwave

Microwaving potatoes is the quickest, easiest way to get soft, fluffy potatoes—no oven required. Whether you're making a baked-style potato, prepping for mashed potatoes, or using them as a shortcut for air frying or broiling, the microwave saves time. Using an Anyday dish, the silicone gasket traps steam, cooking potatoes evenly in just 3-4 minutes instead of waiting an hour for the oven. All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
