This is so easy but tastes fab! I also added some halved cherry tomatoes to the mix and topped with sour cream, mmm delish, will definately make these again!

Yummy potatoes! I tossed them with Greek Seasoning for extra flavor and finished them in the oven so the cheese would brown a bit. Also, since DH doesn't like salami or pepperoni I used 3 strips of crispy bacon which he really liked. Look forward to making this again.

Quick and easy to make. We all enjoyed this. I made this as written. I love cooking in my microwave, it makes life so much easier at times. This will be made again as it is made with ingredients I normally have on hand. Made for Fall PAC 2008.

This is a lovely, easy and inspiring recipe! I ended up using what I had on hand...white potatoes, pepper salami, and some other yummy add-ins to make a meal! I loved it so much I had to post my version Recipe#220897. Thanks Potpie! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

Loved this easy, tasty way to prepare potatoes. Dinner last night was a purchased rotisserie chicken and I needed something equally fast to prepare for a side dish. Sure am glad I chose these! The only changes I made were to use peeled white skin potatoes, and we ate them at the table instead of on the couch ;-) Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
