Directions:
- Poke potatoes several times with a fork and microwave 5 minutes, then flip over and nuke about 3 minutes more. Exact timing depends on your microwave and number of potatoes. Overcooking them is better than undercooking in this case.
- Run each potato under cold water for about 10 seconds, twisting it a little to loosen the skin.
- Slice in half lengthwise and use a soup spoon to scoop the insides into a big bowl. The potatoes are very hot and can be difficult to hold in your hand - sometimes I use a pot holder. Sometimes it's possible to slip most of the skin off instead of scooping.
- Add butter, milk and salt.
- Mash them right in the bowl with a potato masher, or a fork if you're only making one potato. Add more milk and salt as needed for texture and taste.
- Mound them up nicely and nuke again 30-60 seconds just before serving. I like mashed potatoes served nice and steaming, with a little bit of butter melting over them.
