Cooking instructions
1.
Scrub and clean the potato under running water and dry it. Pierce it a couple of times on each side with a fork to allow the steam to escape.
2.
Rub a small amount of olive oil on the potato and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
3.
Microwave the potato at full power for 5 minutes. Then flip the potato and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4.
Check if the potato is done by pricking it with a fork. If needed, microwave some more in 1-minute bursts until completely done.
5.
Remove the potato from the microwave and let it cool down a couple of minutes before eating.
