Amerindians account for nearly 7% of the population, while Afro-Ecuadorians, who live mostly in Imbabura and Esmeraldas provinces, make up 7% of the population. White people of European descent make up 12.% of Ecuador's population. Most of the ethnic groups of Ecuador descend from the Spanish colonists and South American Indians, as the mixture of these two groups created the Mestizo category.
1 Scrub the potato, and prick several time with the tines of a fork. Place on a plate.  Cook on full power in the microwave for 5 minutes. Turn over, and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. When the potato is soft, remove from the microwave, and cut in half lengthwise.
Pat them dry to remove excess moisture, then stab each one multiple times with the tines of a fork. Stab deeply, pushing your tines at least halfway in. The larger the potato, the more holes you need to allow moisture to vent during cooking. This minimizes the chances of a potato exploding in the microwave. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, if you like. Place the prepared potato on a microwave-safe dish and cook it on high for five minutes. Turn the potato so that the bottom side faces up, and if your microwave doesn't have a rotating base, turn it so the side facing the inside of the dish is now pointed toward the outside.
