No great fanfare with me- I halve the potatoes, season, butter, and nuke em till you can easily slide a fork in em.

Nukes are for leftovers. Cooking is a whole nother thing. About the
only thong I actually cook in the microwave is corn.
Soak the whole ear, shuck on, in salt water for a little while, then
nuke it for about 4 minutes. When you take it out, cut the stalk end
off at the first fat spot. Holding it with a towel, squeeze from the
tassel end and a clean ear of corn poops right out. No silk or
anything. Butter if you need it and chow down.

I like corn with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a little garlic powder on the grill.

Potatoes get the same treatment with a little crushed red pepper, then roasted in the oven. Sometime we boil small ones, them smash them flat in a skillet with olive oil and rosemary, brown them, then drizzle with lemon juice.

I'm getting hungry.
