Microwave Oven Roasted Potatoes Recipes

MICROWAVE BAKED POTATO

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.

QUICK AND CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks with a sharp knife and cutting board. Place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes or so, until the chunks can be pierced easily with a fork, but not falling apart.
• While the potatoes are in the microwave, preheat your broiler. Place an oven rack on the second position below the broiler - not the top position.
• Whisk together all the remaining ingredients (from the olive oil to the sea salt) in a separate small bowl to make the sauce. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the tender potatoes and the sauce, and toss to coat.
• Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a Silpat pan liner. I think aluminum is best for browning. Broil until brown and crispy, tossing often. Keep your eye on them as they cook so they don't burn! Serve warm.
