Ingredients
Instructions

- Add water to the microwave dish.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding some diced onions or bell peppers along with the potatoes. If you don't have Molly McButter, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or a light drizzle of olive oil can also enhance the taste. Adjust the garlic salt to your preference; if you're watching sodium, try using a salt-free garlic seasoning instead.
