LOADED BREAKFAST POTATOES

Loaded Breakfast Potatoes image

My kids love loaded potatoes in restaurants, so I modified them to make at home. Using the microwave for the potatoes will save you about 10 minutes. I also use thin-skinned red potatoes instead of russets to save on peeling time. -Tena Kropp, Aurora, Illinois
