(152,980 posts)These are typically the white rose or red rose potatoes; they're on the small side, but the larger ones also work.
Wash and place one or two of these in a microwavable (preferably glass) container with a matching lid. I add water up to about halfway in the bowl. Then I cook them on high for about 10 minutes. At that point, I remove the bowl from the microwave, and test the potatoes for done-ness. When they're tender to a two prong fork, they're done.
It looks more complicated than it really is. I have yet to have a potato come out less than done using this method.
