QUICK POTATO SIDE DISH
(MICROWAVE)
 
Several sm. red potatoes
Grated med. Cheddar cheese
1/2 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix
Water

In a glass baking dish, place sliced potatoes. Sprinkle on onion soup mix. Dab butter over potatoes. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap so you can watch potatoes cook as cheap entertainment. Guests LOVE this part!

When potatoes have cooked, about 20 minutes, remove from microwave and add cheese as desired. Return to microwave for about 5-10 minutes to melt cheese.

Yummy! The potatoes took about 18 minutes, and I stirred them after 10 minutes. Before I added the cheese, I added them to a pound of browned ground beef and a small can of sliced mushrooms. I added the cheese and let it sit in the covered pan to melt. Hamburger Helper, eat your heart out!

Avoid plastic wrap. When heated they can release potentially harmful chemicals.
