This is a nice convenient recipe that doesn't result in "microwavey" tasting potatoes, that flavor you get when you bake a potato all the way in the microwave, something I just can't bring myself to do. (I *will* nuke them for 4 minutes, then bake at 400F for about 30 minutes, though.) I can see quite a bit of versatility in the seasonings here and that's ALWAYS a good thing. Thank you for posting, Sage. :)

This is a very good recipe and very easy. We liked the potatoes a lot and will have them often, especially in the summertime when I don't like to use my oven. Thanks for posting Sage.

Excellent taste, quick AND I had all of the ingredients in my cabinet except the kitchen bouquet, so I just did without that. My kids loved them too and asked for more. I'm marinading my Mahi Mahi in the sauce right now for tonight's dinner. Thank you Sage, I will be using this recipe over and over again on potatoes and more!

I enjoyed the ease of making this recipe. However, there is no way that I could have halved six medium potatoes and have them done in the time alotted. I cut them into quarters, and then cut them again into eighths. I didn't have Kitchen Bouquet...they don't sell it here, so I used Cavenders Greek Seasoning. To get them done in the microwave, I found that some of the potatoes got hard around the edges. I think they would have gotten done just as quickly roasting in the oven. I loved the flavor and the seasoning of the smoked paprika, thyme and butter though. We enjoyed these with grilled burgers tonight. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT5

This is a good way to make a potato side dish in a pinch. It's really quick and couldn't be easier. The flavor is very good. We prefer crispier potatoes, so next time I will put them under the broiler for the last 5 minutes. It will still be much faster than roasting potatoes. Thanks for such a neat idea.
