1 pound potatoes
Microwave Oven Directions: Wash and dry potatoes; carefully check weight
on a kitchen scale. Pierce the skin with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Place potatoes on a paper towel in microwave oven. If cooking just a few
potatoes, allow 1 minute per ounce cooking time at high setting. If total
weight of potatoes is between 1 and 2 pounds, allow about 45 seconds cooking
time per ounce. If total weight exceeds 2 pounds, allow 30 seconds per ounce.
Crock Pot Directions: Scrub potatoes but do not dry. Place in crock pot,
cover and cook on low setting 6 to 8 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
There is no need to add liquid.
Conventional Oven Directions: Wash and dry potatoes. Rub surface lightly
with oil or margarine. Bake at 425°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until
potatoes are soft. Halfway through cooking time, pierce the skins with a
fork to allow steam to escape.
