Microwave Dutch Oven Potatoes

I love Dutch oven potatoes. It’s unfortunate that I just can’t fix the as often as I like. However, I found a recipe that’s the next best thing, It is for Microwave Dutch Oven Potatoes.

I got this recipe from KSL (a local TV station) a while ago from Becky Low. I love it. Now, I do like to make sure my bacon is pretty well cooked before I put it in because I don’t like mushy bacon. I also add 2 Tbsp. of butter to the whole thing after it is done cooking.

You add the bacon to a large microwave safe bowl. Then cook it for a few minutes by itself in the microwave. You don’t want it crisp, but you want it cooked.

Next, you will add in the onion followed by the diced potatoes. You also sprinkle some salt and pepper over the potatoes. Then you cover and cook in the microwave for about 15 minutes, giving it a stir every 5 minutes.
