Delicious & easy. I was craving some potatoes in this vein and was pleased to find some that could be cooked in the microwave. I added about a half cup of sharp cheddar cheese and finished these in the oven for about 5-10 minutes. Overall the potatoes were tender and well-seasoned. I thik they would be great with heavy cream and bacon crumbles but I appreciated that they were fairly healthy. Thanks!

i have to admit, I was a little skeptical - could a microwaved dish really be this good...? The answer is YES! We LOVED these potatoes! I halved the recipe and lowered the "cook" time to 10 minutes. The only change I made was to use seasoned salt instead of regular salt and I omitted the paprika. These were great! Thank you! UPDATE: When I made these again last night, I topped the potatoes with reduced fat real bacon crumbles and low fat cheddar cheese and put it under the broiler for a few minutes...WOW! Would highly recommend!

I couldnt believe how wonderful these were. I am not one too cook in the microwave and they sounded too simple to be so good but they were excellent! The potatoes had a really great flavour and they hardly had any fat in them. I would serve them as a side dish for company any day. If anyone wonders I weighed the poatoes and it took 6 medium size.

"These potatoes are great!!!" was the response I recieved after my husband at his first bite. Its almost embarrasing how easy these potatoes are to make. This is a definite keeper.
