Scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush or soft cloth in cool water. Pierce through the skin in at least 4 places with a fork or knife. Place on a microwave safe dish and cook on high while you are preparing the wraps. Each microwave will vary in terms of the time it will take, but begin with 10 minutes and check for doneness. Doneness is achieved when a knife cuts through the potato without resistance.
