I'm surprised I've kept this up for three whole posts. Alrighty then!
Last night's dinner of sausage, sauerkraut, and a nuked potato with garlic butter was second day leftovers. It's an easy meal for when I don't feel like spending much time cooking.
Nuked potatoes are the best! I think they come out much better than ones baked in the oven. Oven baked potatoes usually come out a bit hard in my opinion. When they're cooked in the microwave, they come out nice and fluffy since the microwave cooks them from the inside.
I was going to make pork chops today but I didn't feel like it so I just had a pizza instead. No pic of that, though.

Do you boil them first for 10 minutes or so? (or I maybe you could nuke them so they're half-cooked)
We usually slice them as well before baking.

Well, vegetables are good for you, I'm told. :)
Growing up, I recall only having baked potatoes(wrapped in foil) a few times. Any other time I've had the wrapped in foil types has been in a restaurant or something. I think I've been eating nuked ones for maybe 20 years or so and prefer them that way. I can make 6 or 8 (depending on the size) and they only take 10 minutes in the microwave. I don't remember how long oven baked one take, somewhere around 45 minuted or more. Potatoes are about the only things I actually cook in the microwave. Otherwise, it's just for heating things. The stove and the pots and pans are what see the most action in my house! LOL
What variety of potato do you use over there? Russet is the variety we use for baking potatoes.

WTH? These look like dinosaur eggs.

The variety varies (and I don't really know all the names). Bintjes are good for fries though.
What the hell were those things?!? Dinosaur eggs, indeed. Those things don't look like any russets I've ever seen. If you scroll towards the bottom of that page and click the "Russet Burbank" link, there's a pic on that page that says "Idaho Russet potatoes." That's what one actually looks like. Those other things... I've never seen those before.
Bintjes, huh? And -je is a diminutive? Now I'm going to be snickering all day about "moistened bintjes" a la Monty Python. LOL So those have a yellow flesh? Interesting. I'll have to look into making fries out of yellow flesh potatoes...maybe Yukon Gold. Hmmmm...
Apparently the "inventor" of the Bintje variety - Kornelis Lieuwes de Vries, a Frisian teacher - named this potato after his ex-student Bintje Jansma in 1905.
So those have a yellow flesh?
Not that I recall but the fries are yellow so I guess so.
