Ingredients
- 24 oz small potatoes
- 3 tsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Wash your potatoes and add them to a microwave-safe dish. Place cover loosely on top.
- Microwave for 10 minutes, then check doneness of potatoes by piercing the largest one with a fork. If they are not tender enough to your liking, then microwave them for a couple more minutes.
- If the potatoes are done, remove them from the microwave and add the butter and seasonings. The heat of the potatoes will melt the butter.
- Use a spoon to stir the potatoes in the butter and seasonings. Make sure all the potatoes are well coated.
- Then serve potatoes in the dish or transfer to a serving bowl.
