Microwave Potatoes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into wedges.
• Melt margarine.
• Stir in herbs and salt.
• Add potatoes and stir to coat.
• Cover and cook 8-10 min in microwave or until soft.

Steps:

• Rinse peeled and quartered potatoes.
• Arrange potatoes in medium glass bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Cook at HIGH for 9 to 10-1/2 minutes; stir once. You can set your kitchen timer for a reminder to stir. Potatoes should be tender.
• Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
• During this 5 minute standing time, combine milk, butter, salt and pepper in a large glass bowl or 8-cup glass pyrex measuring cup.
• Cook milk mixture at MEDIUM for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot.
• Drain potatoes.
• Add potatoes to the hot milk mixture; mash until smooth.

Steps:

• Place potatoes, onion, and butter in a large microwave-safe dish.
• Mix flour and salt in a bowl; sprinkle over potatoes and gently toss until vegetables are coated.
• Pour milk over the potatoes.
• Cook in the microwave on high setting until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
• Allow potatoes to rest for 5 minutes before sprinkling with parsley and paprika for serving.

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.
