If you’re in a pinch, absolutely. It’s faster than a stovetop boil and doesn’t require watching a pot. The downside? Your microwave might smell like a damp basement for an hour. The upside? You get to eat potatoes in half the time, and that’s a win for humanity.
Just remember: don’t boil a potato without water, and don’t forget to stab it. The universe has a sense of humor, but it’s not that kind. So go forth, you magnificent microwave rebel. Your spud awaits. Now excuse me while I go clean my microwave from last night’s “experiment.”
