#1093 - Sliced Microwave Potatoes

(by Shirley McNevich)

4 baking potatoes
salt to taste
pepper to taste
butter
chopped green onions (optional)
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream (optional)

Wash and rinse potatoes. On a cutting board and using a sharp knife, slice each potato down (in width) 1/8" slices but DO NOT cut all the way through--you want the potatoes to stay together. Place the potatoes in a microwave safe dish. Put butter, salt and pepper on top of potatoes and between slices. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top of each potato. Microwave on high until potatoes are tender. Remove from microwave and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of potatoes. Return to microwave and microwave on high until cheese melts. Scoop sour cream on top before serving if you wish.
