how to cook a healthy potato
1. Baked Potatoes âWhat could be easier than baking a potato? To bake a potato: scrub 1 medium russet potato per person and pierce in several places with a fork. Place the potatoes in the microwave and cook on Medium, turning once or twice, until soft, about 20 minutes. (Or use the âpotato settingâ on your microwave and cook according to the manufacturerâs directions.) Alternatively, bake potatoes directly on the center rack in a 400Â°F oven until tender, 45 to 60 minutes.
