Twice-Microwaved Potatoes
Description
Just like twice-baked potatoes, except these are cooked twice in the microwave for a faster but equally tasty side dish. And there's no need to use your oven!
Ingredients
•
6 medium russet potatoes
•
1 cup sour cream
•
1/2 cup cubed processed cheese
•
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
•
4 green onions, chopped
•
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
•
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
•
ground black pepper to taste
•
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
Directions
1
Poke potatoes all over with the tines of a fork.
2
Working in batches if necessary, microwave potatoes on high, turning halfway through for more even cooking, about 4 minutes per potato. Potatoes are done when they can be easily poked with a fork.
3
Remove potatoes from the microwave and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out flesh with a large spoon, leaving skins intact.
4
Place flesh into a large, microwave-safe bowl. Stir in sour cream, processed cheese, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, 4 green onions, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper until well combined. Microwave on high until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
5
Scoop hot potato mixture back into potato skins. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar and 1 tablespoon green onion.
