Microwave the red potato on high for several minutes. According to the Fruits & Veggies-More Matters website, a small potato may take a total of 1 to 2 minutes, while a large potato may take up to 5 minutes.

If you are in a rush, you can cut open the potato immediately after the microwave stops, add your toppings (or not), and then do the final cooking in the microwave by microwaving another 30 to 60 seconds. 2  Using a rotating carousel for microwaving is the best way to get the potato evenly cooked all around.
