Tonight I was feeling like some vegetables, which isn’t too uncommon, and decided on potatoes. If you love baked potatoes but don’t have the patience to wait for your oven to pre-heat and cook your tuber, you should try microwaving it. After cleaning and poking your potato(s) with holes, microwave it for about 5 minutes. If you’re worried about it drying out, just wrap it in a paper towel immediately after cleaning/rinsing. After microwaving, wrap the potato in foil and it’ll cook itself.
Afterwards I like to mash/spread my potatoes on a plate and pile on the goodies. Today I went with butter, garlic, oregano, chives, pepper,sour cream, cooked carrots and peas, and ketchup on top. Delicious. I was going to take a picture but accidentally ate it all.
Ha! You felt like veggies and landed on potatoes? Isn’t that a bit like saying you were in the mood for mexican, so you went to Taco Bell?
To be fair, I had more carrots and peas than potatoes. Those tubers just tie everything together like lettuce in a salad.
couldn’t resist the ketchup, huh?
