Ingredients

  • 8 potatoes with skins
  • 1/2 stick butter or Butter Buds
  • Season-All
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 sliced onion (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice potatoes and onion and lay them in a microwavable casserole dish.
  2. Place pats of butter over the potatoes and sprinkle Season-All seasoning over them.
  3. Cook in microwave at full power for 10 minutes.
  4. Check for tenderness, then cover with shredded Cheddar cheese.
  5. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until cheese is melted.

Tips & Substitutions

To enhance flavor, consider using garlic powder along with the Season-All. If you're short on time, opt for pre-shredded cheese to save prep time. For a healthier twist, substitute half the butter with olive oil or use Butter Buds for a low-calorie option. For an extra kick, add jalapeños or bell peppers to the potato mixture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Microwave Potato Supreme as a hearty side dish alongside grilled meats or as a vegetarian main dish. It pairs beautifully with Hot Cheesy Biscuits for a comforting meal. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes, covered, to retain moisture. You can also reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is gooey again.
