Steps:
- Scrub the potato, and prick several time with the tines of a fork. Place on a plate.
- Cook on full power in the microwave for 5 minutes. Turn over, and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. When the potato is soft, remove from the microwave, and cut in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper, and mash up the inside a little using a fork. Top the open sides with butter and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Return to the microwave, and cook for about 1 minute to melt the cheese.
- Top with remaining cheese and sour cream, and serve.

MICROWAVE OVEN ROASTED POTATOES
It got this recipe from a Microwave Cooking Class about 20 years ago. I have passed it to many friends and they all love it (even one who "does not cook"). She had her family raving about her potatoes.

BUTTERY GARLIC POTATOES
My husband and three boys all love oven-roasted potatoes. But I work full-time, so once I get home and start dinner, I usually don't have time to make them. I whipped up this quick and very tasty microwave garlic potato recipe with red potatoes and seasonings instead, and everyone likes it. -Heidi Iacovetto, Phippsburg, Colorado
