SARASOTA'S FIVE MINUTE MICROWAVED MASHED POTATOES
I have been doing this for years and I love it. Five minutes in the micro, then add your favorite toppings or ingredients and you have mashed spuds. I like to add some butter, maybe a little chicken broth, you can do sour cream, chives, herbs, cheese, bacon, cream or milk. Pretty much anything you want. I am listing my basic recipe, but use your imagination. You can add anything you want to these. Nothing like mashed potatoes in 5-8 minutes without the boiling water, peeling or the time involved.

Steps:
- Potatoes -- prepare your spuds. Just wash good and cut in bite size pieces. Place in a microwavable bowl, one that you will be serving in and add the water and cover with plastic wrap.
- Cook -- Cook on high for 3-5 minutes, remove plastic wrap and stir. Put the saran wrap back on and cook another 2-3 minutes until the spuds are soft.
- Dress -- Now, the spuds are done. What do you with them is up to you. Butter to me is a must to me and you can go lighter if you want. Add some liquid the 1/2 cup -- either broth, cream, milk, and of course salt and pepper. Then use a fork or potato masher to smash them up.
- Now they are done -- NOW WHAT? -- Sour Cream? Bacon? Cheese? Scallions? Herbs? Onion? Anything you want.
- Finish -- After adding all your flavors, you can return return to the microwave covered in the plastic wrap for just 1 minute until heated and serve. But many times the potatoes are hot enough and any extras will heat up with any additional cooking time.
- 1 pot clean up, easy and quick.
