I have seen recipes on the net where they bake the potatoes in the oven with butter and with slices of onion between the potato slices. So I thought I would try to make them in the microwave to make them quicker and without the onions for my husband. I added chopped green onions to mine for more color. This is a change from plain baked potatoes.
Enjoy! Debbie
