Potato Rounds

     Sometimes I just don't have time to wait for a baked potato, so I make this quick snack or side. It tastes similar to baked potatoes, but only takes about 5 minutes to make. You can top with whatever seasonings you prefer. This time around, I just sprinkled on a little salt.
    The second method, is for "baked" potatoes made in the microwave. 

1 potato
salt (or other seasonings)

• Thinly slice the potato and place on a microwave safe plate. I like to cover the plate with parchment paper, but you could spray it with oil.
• Sprinkle with salt. 
• Cook 4-5 minutes or until potato is tender. Sometimes, I like to cook until the potato is crispy almost like a chip.

1 potato

• Cut the potato lengthwise, but don't go all the way through the back. Then make several slices across the width. It will look a little like the threads on a football.
• Place on a microwave safe plate, and cook 3-4 minutes until potato is tender. Do not over cook...unless you like dry potatoes.
• Top with salt, pepper, cheese, etc.
