1
Thoroughly scrub the russet potatoes under running water, pat them dry with a kitchen towel and trim away any blemishes with a paring knife.
2
Using a fork, prick the potatoes four or five times on each side. This allows the steam to escape while cooking.
3
Rub the potatoes all over with the olive oil and generously sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
4
Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish.
5
Microwave the potatoes at full power for 5 minutes.
6
After 5 minutes, carefully flip the potatoes using a fork or tongs. You may need to use oven mitts as the dish will be hot.
7
Continue to microwave for an additional 5 minutes. If needed, continue with additional 1-minute bursts until the potatoes are cooked through and can be easily pierced with a fork all the way to the center.
8
Carefully remove the hot dish from the microwave using oven mitts.
9
Let the potatoes cool briefly, then serve with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a pinch more of salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy your meal!
