Tips on Microwaving
Potatoes
Microwave cooking of potatoes has become much faster and more
convenient. You may find that the microwave actually bakes a more tasty
and nutritious potato than a conventional oven, because the potato is
exposed to nutrient-draining heat for a shorter period of time.
Scrub your Potatoes then dry and prick them with a fork. Wrap in a
paper towel and place one inch apart on a microwave rack. Cook according
to your oven's guidelines, and turn potatoes once during cooking. Don't
exceed the cooking time, as potatoes will continue to cook after they're
removed from the oven. Add low-fat sour cream, chives, chopped parsley,
tomatoes, onions, chili, or cooked broccoli as a topping. Remember
potatoes are low-fat and low calorie. It is what you add to them that
raises calories.
