Steps:
- Poke the potato 4 to 5 times on each side with a fork. Wet a clean sheet of paper towel with water and wring out any excess moisture. Wrap the damp paper towel around the potato and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Remove the paper towel and flip the potato over.
- Drizzle the potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Microwave on high, uncovered, 3 minutes more (see Cook's Note). Use a fork to test for doneness. If the potato is not done, cook in 1-minute intervals until the fork can easily pierce the flesh. Serve with the butter and more salt and pepper.
