5- 6 minutes in the microwave should do it. Stick them with a fork to be sure they're tender.

Baked potatoes are almost impossible to ruin. Well, with one very notable exception: it is absolutely, positively, essential that you prick each potato liberally with a fork. If you do not, they will explode. One other caveat: if you are the type of person who loves a crisp potato skin, then do not microwave your potatoes. You will achieve that crispier skin only in the conventional oven. Here's the recipe.
2 medium baking potatoes
.
Scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt and dry well. Liberally prick each potato with a fork. Spread paper towels on the bottom of your microwave oven and place the potatoes about an inch apart in the center of the microwave. Microwave the potatoes on high for 8 minutes. Remove the potatoes and wrap tightly in foil. Let stand for 5 minutes. If desired, split the potatoes and add butter, cheese, herbs, or other items and rewrap. Let sit for another 5 minutes. Note: Never place aluminum foil in the microwave.

That all depends upon how many potatoes you are cooking at once and, the wattage of your microwave. Make sure you pierce all potatoes several times with a fork to make sure internal steam will escape without exploding your potatoes. After five minutes, start testing the potatoes by sticking them with a fork after every couple of minutes. When the fork pierces easily they are done.

Cooking time depends on the size of the potato and the wattage of the oven but I would cook a good sized potato, say 5 inches across, for ten minutes. Make sure you pierce the skin in several places first.

I cook them for 12 to 14 minutes. Poke them all around with a fork, and put them on your microwave tray that is covered with a couple paper towels in a wheel layout (have them pointing in toward the center like spokes on a wheel).
I cook for seven minutes, then flip them over end to end (outside end is now the inside end). You could check them after five minutes.
I used to cook oven baked potatoes for minimum of an hour, but I like microwaving better because the potatoes are creamy instead of grainy.

If you are cooking them individually 5 minutes just dont forget to prick them. Thats for Jacket potatoes
you can cook a few together just allow 5 minutes per potato if they are medium. i wouldnt do more than four and make sure you prick them all over or you may get hard spots.
hope this helps

It would also depend on the size of the microw wave oven you use but 5-6 min should be sufficient
