Ham and cheese stuffed potato in minutes

A potato in the microwave in a few minutes

When on Instagram I shared a short video on how to make potatoes in a few minutes so that the inside is perfectly soft, the video immediately shot to the top, and to this day it has more views than others. 

Arvydas taught me this way. It turns out that since the advent of microwaves, several generations have grown up with instant potatoes. As someone wrote in the comments “welcome to 1987 🙂” … well, I was happy with the electric waffle iron in 87. 

By the way, even some restaurants use microwave ovens to prepare jacked potatoes, baked potatoes, because

🥔 bakes much faster than in the oven 

🥔 easy to prepare to order. 

🥔 less costs 

Here are the few steps:

• cleanly washed potatoes with their skins should be poked with a fork so that they do not burst when suddenly heated
• put in the microwave (800W) 
• turn the potatoes in the middle of cooking
• at the end of the time, take it out, check with a knife whether it is soft (if necessary, heat it for a few more minutes)

One, 200 g potato will cook in 4-6 minutes.

Two will be made in 6 – 10 minutes.

Larger or more potatoes will need more time. If you want a crispy skin, finish cooking in the grill mode in the same microwave, hot air fryer or oven.

And then it’s a matter of imagination, you can load it (from here loaded potatoes) with whatever you want, cottage cheese filling, salmon (here’s a recipe for how to salt it deliciously at home), or make it with cheese and ham filling. 

Potato with ham and cheese filling

Here’s how I made it. I stabbed a nice, cleanly washed potato. 

A 200g potato was completely soft in 4 minutes, I turned it in the middle of cooking.

I mashed the scooped out flesh with a spoonful of butter, salted it, put it back in the potato skin and loaded it with ham and cheese. 

Next, you can roast in the microwave if it has a grill mode; in a hot air fryer or oven with grill mode.

It’s completely simple and very, very tasty 😋
