Microwave Potato Bag
I love potatoes. Red potatoes are probably my favorite kind but it doesn’t really matter to me as long as I can have enough to feed my family (and maybe some leftovers too).
Normally, I don’t make baked potatoes since I always forget about starting them in the oven until after its too late so I usually make mashed or roast cubed pieces in olive oil and garlic. The mashed potatoes are usually cooked in the microwave as I dash around to get the rest of the meal competed and I’ve never had any complaints about them.
Jennifer over at CraftSanity has posted not only the directions to make “baked” potatoes in the microwave but has also posted a video tutorial on how to make these bags. Using your microwave, a paper towel, one of these bags and some potatoes and you can have yummy potato goodness in 4-8 minutes.
Yes, this does require sewing but its very simple so even a beginner could handle.
There’s still plenty of winter left where a quick baked potato would fit the bill.
