I've been making this side dish for years. I found it in (I believe) the original Frugal Gourmet cookbook. I loved his show. I did a search for this recipe to make sure it hasn't been posted already, but there are 45 pages of potato recipes. Read more See less

How to make it

Wash the Potatoes. Don't peel them.
Cut each Potato in half.
Butter both cut sides and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.
I've also used other seasonings but the flavors compete with the Bay Leaf.
Place one Bay leaf on one Potato half and place the other half on top.
Tie the Potato halves together with string.
Microwave on High for 7 minutes, depending on the strength of your Microwave.
To be honest with you, I cheat and just balance the other half of the potato on top, instead of using string.

I just had to try this technique. I am not a huge fan of bay leaves so I used garlic powder, Italian seasoning and black pepper. The potato was perfectly done and tender right at seven minutes. I added a few picture and a thread in IMI 8/17/13
