• Put the potatoes on a microwavable plate and put them in the microwave for 6 or more minutes(depending on the size) until they are done all the way through and a knife can be inserted easily.
• Remove the potatoes(be careful they are hot)and coat the skin with the olive oil.
• Next,generously, put salt, pepper,the garlic powder and the onion powder all over the skin. (I never use exact amounts, just put as much as you want. I like a lot of the powders!).
• Put the potatoes directly on the rack of the oven for about 5- 10 minutes turning once. The skin will get nice and crisp.
• Remove the potatoes and enjoy. You may want a little butter on the potato.
