Quick Microwave Baked Potato
Ingredients
  • 1 large russet potato
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components for the dish.
2
Clean the potato thoroughly by scrubbing it with a vegetable brush, then use a fork to create small holes on its surface. Position the potato on a microwave-safe dish.
3
Heat the potato in the microwave using maximum power for 5 minutes. Rotate the potato to ensure even cooking, and continue microwaving until it becomes tender, approximately 5 additional minutes.
4
Carefully remove the potato from the microwave oven and cut it in half lengthwise using a sharp knife.
5
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the potato, then use a fork to gently mash the interior of the potato.
6
Add a pat of butter and shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potato. Microwave for an additional 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7
Finish the dish by spooning a dollop of sour cream over the top, then serve immediately.
