Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium russet potatoes
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup sour cream
½ cup cubed processed cheese
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
garlic powder to taste
seasoned salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Poke potatoes with the tines of a fork, and place them in the microwave oven. The more holes, the better. Cook on high power for about 4 minutes per potato. Check about halfway through, and turn potatoes over for even cooking. Potatoes are done when they can be easily poked with a fork.
  • Remove potatoes from the microwave, and cut each one in half lengthwise. Use a large spoon to scoop out the inside of the potatoes, leaving the skins intact. Place the scoopings into a large microwave safe bowl, and stir in the 4 green onions, sour cream, processed cheese, and 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Season with garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper; mix well.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Scoop the mixture back into the potato skins to serve, or serve from the bowl. Garnish with additional green onion and shredded cheese if desired.

These potatoes were a waste of time. They were not cooked evenly and they had no flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out terrible. They were dry and overcooked.

These potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some herbs and spices next time.

I added some shredded cheese and chopped bacon to these potatoes, and they were amazing! They were so cheesy and flavorful.

These potatoes are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I just formed them into patties and microwaved them until they were heated through.

These potatoes were just okay. They were a little dry and not very flavorful. I think I'll stick to roasting potatoes in the oven.

I've never microwaved potatoes before, but these turned out great! They were cooked evenly and had a nice flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.

These potatoes were a hit! They were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, and they cooked perfectly in the microwave. I will definitely be making these again.
