Ooohhhh...I really liked these! I was in a crunch at dinner time and ran late in getting started cooking and realized there was no way I could make the potato recipe I had planned on making without running dinner WAY behind. I found this one and the potatoes were done in a flash! I did add a lot of seasoning before cooking. I added garlic bread sprinkle, garli garni and crushed red peppers. I also used regular salt and black pepper. I followed a previous reviewers advice and cooked this about 6 minutes before adding the parmesan and then I cooked it 2 additional minutes. These don't look like pan browned or pan baked potatoes. So if that bothers you...this isn't the recipe for you. I found they were cooked perfectly and the flavor was wonderful. Simple, healthy, tasty side dish you can make in a flash. A true winner with me! Thank you for posting!

    For me, making this recipe confirmed that bcmnicol really is - without doubt - the Spud Queen. I have been regularly making her Crock Pot Baked Potatoes since I discovered that recipe. And this recipe really is the natural complement: potatoes cooked SLOWLY or potatoes cooked SUPER-FAST! And, of course, vary the herbs to suit your taste preferences! I used unsalted butter and added three cloves of finely minced garlic and several grindings of a rosemary and sage blend of herbs in step two. Naturally these were not browned as they would be when panfried or baked but for fix-in-a-jiffy potatoes, they were scrumptious. Certainly a recipe I'm glad to have found and that I'll be using again! Made for EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY!

    These were a quick and easy side dish for a busy week night. I served them alongside pork chops and tomato salad and fresh fruit. Next time I think I will wait to toss in the parmesan cheese until the end. Mine clumped a bit. Other than that, they turned out great.

    These were good. They seemed to lack a little something as far as flavor. I added extra seasoning salt and that helped. Quick and easy too. Thanks for sharing!
