5 Minute Potato Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and cube the potato.
• Put the extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper on top and mix together well, so that each peace gets an even amount.
• Microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds.
• Add butter and cheese; microwave for another 15 seconds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spray 8 muffin tins with vegetable spray. Layer potato slices, cheese, and onions into each muffin cup. Season with salt and pepper and top each gratin with 1 or 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Cover with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, removing the foil halfway through cooking time. Invert gratins onto plate and serve.

Steps:

• Thinly slice the potatoes, then place in a bowl of water to prevent browning until needed.
• Brown bacon in a large skillet over medium heat; remove and set aside.
• Add stock, onions, and potatoes (not the water) to the pan and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, then top with the bacon to reheat.
• Plate, leaving bacon on top.

Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and onion rings, and cook about 6 to 7 minutes until the bacon is lightly browned and the onions are soft.
• 2. Layer the potato slices over the bacon and onions, and don't worry if the skillet seems crowded as the potatoes will reduce a bit after cooking a bit. Add stock to the skillet, and simmer until the potatoes are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
• 3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and cooked through, stirring frequently to blend all the ingredients.
• 4. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with bread on the side.
• 5. Optional: A sprinkle or two of Worcestershire sauce can be floated on top of each serving, for added flavor.

Steps:

• Scrub the potato, and prick several time with the tines of a fork. Place on a plate.
• Cook on full power in the microwave for 5 minutes. Turn over, and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. When the potato is soft, remove from the microwave, and cut in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper, and mash up the inside a little using a fork. Top the open sides with butter and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Return to the microwave, and cook for about 1 minute to melt the cheese.
• Top with remaining cheese and sour cream, and serve.
