THE simplest way?

Scrub off dirt with a brush and water.
Pierce about 10 times with the point of a knife.
Wrap loosely in a paper towel.
Put in microwave. Use potato setting or give it about 3-4 minutes.
Check that it does not get overdone by stabbing with a fork.

You can then eat it any way you want. Well cooked potato will be sweet.
We mash with butter and (sometimes) a little maple syrup.
