Do you pierce potatoes before microwaving?

Always remember to poke a few holes in the potatoes with a fork before baking them; this will let the steam out and prevent them from exploding.

Can you microwave 2 potatoes at once?

Yes, just make sure the microwave safe dish is large enough for the both of them!

When it’s baked potato night but you’re short on time, a microwave baked potato is a lifesaver, & tastes like it took all night to make!
