QUICK POTATO BAKE

A potato bake is a must in your recipe repertoire. This one is quicker to make than a normal potato bake, with the help of your microwave. It’s also a lot easier than a potato gratin as you don’t need to slice the potatoes thinly and then layer them. Just chop into cubes and throw into your baking dish. Couldn’t be easier!
