Garlic & Butter Potatoes



This week I’m going to do a simple recipe my mom taught me. All this one uses is a microwave. What you’ll need:

4 Potatoes (I use red potatoes)

3 tablespoons butter

Garlic salt to taste

Water, just enough to cover the potatoes


1. Cut the potatoes into small chunks. Try to leave some skin on each one.


2. Put them in a container and cover with cold water. The cold water will make sure they cook evenly whereas if you’d put hot water in, the potatoes would cook more on the outside.


3. Heat that up for 8-10 minutes. I usually judge when it’s done whenever I can smell it pretty good. You want them soft, but not mushy.


4. Drain the water.


5. Put in the butter and stir.


6. Now put in some garlic salt to your liking and stir some more.


Enjoy!
