Very tasty and quick potatoe recipe!!! I especially like the added onion. I made 1/4 of the recipe for one serving and left out the rosemary, personal preference, but otherwise followed at written. I cooked them for 8 minutes and probably could have cooked them a couple of mins. less. Thanks Sage for a great microwave potatoe recipe. Made for Holiday tag.

I rarely use my microwave for anything other than defrosting and re-heating food, but boy will it go into overdrive doing these potatoes. Tasty, simply and healthy too, what more can I say. My OH thought they had been cooked in the regular oven, not the micro. I too used low fat cooking spray instead of butter, and as I am on the Slimming World food Optimizing Programme, this dish is free on a green day. I will be eating more potatoes now Sage, thanks for this delicious simple side dish.

Easy and quick for potatoes, but still very tasty. The potatoes were very tender (which we really like) and there was an herby crust on top, softened a bit by the gravy left on the bottom of the dish. We used unpealed Idaho potatoes and didn't experiment with fresh herbs, but used a hot paprika which gave the dish a bit of a kick. Instead of chicken broth we used a good quality vegetable broth. No need to turn either if you have a turntable in the microwave. Low fat too, and you won't be disappointed without the extra butter. Thanks for a great side dish.

I've always had a herb garden; now I have containers on my patio with my must have herbs. It seems, everything tastes better with fresh herbs!
