Even a child can reheat food or cook something tasty in a few minutes. And when time is suddenly short, microwave potato recipes come in handy. Ideas for cooking the tubers can vary by using bags, glass or plastic dishes, spices, oil, and sauces. There are a few general, simple guidelines you can follow to make the potatoes come out evenly baked, soft, and full of the aromas of your spices.
The five most commonly used ingredients in these recipes:
| Product | Calories per 100g | Protein g per 100g | Fats g per 100g | Carbohydrates g per 100g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Potatoes | 80 | 2 | 0.4 | 18.1 |
| Paprika | 289 | 14.8 | 13 | 18.3 |
| Olive oil | 913 | 0 | 99.8 | 0 |
| Butter | 734 | 0.5 | 82.5 | 0.8 |
| Fresh herbs | 41 | 3.7 | 0.4 | 7 |
The easiest way is to bake the potatoes in their skins — even someone with no cooking experience can handle that. Other recipes aren't much harder, though prepping the product may take a little more time. These dishes have a number of advantages: they save time, the whole process is simple — from prep to serving — and they're affordable. Really, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with anything more filling and just as inexpensive!
