Baked potato with fried onions and cottage cheese
A tasty meal for one. There are various techniques for this, but in the the UK with a 1000W (cat E) microwave, this is a simple and fast way to a tasty treat.
I love purely microwaved baked potatoes in their skins. No charring, no burning, no hard bits. Just tasty, fibrous potato flesh and skin. If you like the charring, make use of the microwave with a preheated grill to give you the speed.
Ingredients
- 1 x 270-300g White potato.
- 1 medium onion, diced.
- 10g butter.
- 150g cottage cheese.
Directions
- Wash potato. Put a couple of slits into the potato, place on microwaveable dinner plate and put into a category E microwave for 5 minutes.
- Fry onion in the butter in a small sauce pan.
- Turn potato over and do a further 5-6 minutes.
- Spoon cottage cheese onto cold dinner plate and pour onions next to the heap of cheese. Split potato and serve on plate.
A lovely hot, quick, low washing up lunch or lighter evening meal for one.
NB a different powered microwave will need the times adjusting, as will a smaller or larger potato.
