Put the plate in the microwave and select a cooking time. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the potato and the power of the microwave. Most medium to large potatoes will take between 8-12 minutes to cook at full power.1  Try putting the potato in for 5 minutes to begin with, then take it out and turn it over so that both sides cook evenly. 2  Place it back in the microwave for another 3-5 minutes, depending on how soft it is already. If you are cooking multiple potatoes at once, you will need to increase the cooking time by about two-thirds. 2  For example, if one large potato takes 10 minutes to cook, two large potatoes would take between 16-17 minutes.
Boiling sweet potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add peeled, cubed potatoes and cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Try turning them into mashed sweet potatoes.
