Scrub the potatoes well and prick all over with a fork. You don't need to peel them. I do because my hubby won't eat the skin and makes a fuss about taking it off.....
Put them on a microwavable plate and set the microwave to 5 minutes. My microwave is 800W so you may need to adjust the time a little. 7 - 11 minutes is a good estimation of total time but take into account the size of the potatoes too. Sweet potatoes need a couple minutes less time than white potatoes do so adjust the time accordingly
Turn the potatoes over so they're upsides down and put back in for another 5 minutes
Check if they're done and if not, give them another minute or so
Cut into quarters (not quite all the way through) then pile on your toppings!
2 x 190g tins of drained tuna mixed with some sweetcorn as and a few tablespoons of mayo (see my egg-free mayo recipe listed) will feed 4 adults with a potato and some salad
