Microwave Quick Potato Casserole
Super quick Potato Casserole made in the microwave.
Today I want to share a recipe that I have been eating since I was a little girl. We called them Mrs. Moe’s Potatoes because she was the one who taught us how to make them.
Usually potatoes take 30-45 minutes to make in the oven but this recipe is made in the microwave and it takes about 20 minutes.
The only cookware you will need is a covered 2 qt casserole dish (or larger). Here’s a photo from one on Amazon for the one Corningware dish that I adore! The color is my FAV!!! No kitchen is complete without this dish! Seriously!
TIP: I have even made this dish with frozen hash browns to make it even easier!!!!
Since I am trying to cut back on starches I don’t usually purchase large amounts of potatoes because they tend to go bad quickly. So, instead I buy the frozen diced hash browns and then when I need a carb fix I make a batch.
