Tastes like potatoes fried on the stove to the 'tender' stage, not cripsy. Very good, easier, healthier, and quicker. We never fry potatoes anymore, family requests this version all the time.
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium size potatoes, scrubbed, skin on, large -but thin -diced (thick pieces take longer to cook). shopping list
- 1 small white onion, diced shopping list
- 2 T chopped garlic shopping list
- 1 red or greem pepper, diced (optional) shopping list
- 2 pads butter or margarine shopping list
- seasoned Salt shopping list
- garlic pepper shopping list
- parmesan cheese - sprinkle shopping list
- EVOO shopping list
How to make it
- Scrub and dice potatoes into bowl of cold water, skin on
- Drain, and transfer to microwavable dish, with lid (preferrably vented lid)
- Add onion, peppers, garlic, seasoned salt and pepper
- Stir together
- Top with butter pads
- Lightly drizzle EVOO across top
- Lightly sprinkle parmesan cheese over top
- Cover with lid and pop open vent, OR partially cover with lid
- Microwave approximately 12 minutes. Rotating halfway through if no turntable
- Check for doneness, cook longer if needed
- Careful - steam beneath lid will burn you - learned that the hard way!
- Do not know the wattage, but, I have a high powered microwave. May take 15-16 miknutes for lower wattage.

Always appreciate a healthier alternative to "frying" and any new recipe for the microwave is appreciated. I like recipes that don't heat up the kitchen during the long summers here in Florida.
