These turned out so good. I cant believe how easy they were in the microwave. I had to cook them four more minutes then called for but that could have been because I had more potatoes then a pound and a half. I will make this again, it saved time and stovetop. Thank you for sharing this.

These were quite good - I added a little bit of cheese between each layer and more on top. Lovely. Thanks for the recipe!

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.
