Categories: Vegetables, Microwave
Yield: 1 Servings

1 Med. Baking Potato
1 1/2 ts Butter Or Margarine
Milk
2 tb Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 ts Sliced Green Onion
Paprika (Optional)

Scrub baking potato with a brush. Prick with a fork in several places.
Place potato in a shallow baking dish. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100%
power for 4 to 5 minutes or till potato is tender.

Cut a lengthwise slice from the top of the potato. Discard skin from
lengthwise slice; place the potato portion from the lengthwise slice in a
mixing bowl. Scoop out the insides of the potato, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick
shell; reserve the shell. Add the insides of the potato to the mixing bowl
containing the potato portion from the top slice, mash. Stir in shredded
cheddar cheese, butter or margarine and sliced green onion. Beat in enough
milk to give the mixture a stiff consistency. Season to taste with salt and
freshly ground pepper.

Pile the mashed potato mixture into the reserved potato shell. Return to
the shallow baking dish. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 1 to 2
minutes or till potato mixture is heated through. Sprinkle with paprika, if
desired.
