My husband and three boys all love oven-roasted potatoes. But I work full-time, so once I get home and start dinner, I usually don’t have time to make them. I whipped up this quick and very tasty microwave recipe with red potatoes and seasonings instead, and everyone likes it. –Heidi Iacovetto, Phippsburg, Colorado

Great for last minute but too chewy.

Easy peasy-I made 1/2 recipe w white round potatoes and cut them smaller, cooked 9 mins. Could have used less butter maybe. Thanks

The flavor is good but I thought the potatoes came out kind of chewy/soggy from the microwave. I think I will try it in the oven next time. I also added 1 tsp. of italian seasoning.
