Sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and tangy capers are a great alternative to traditional baked potato condiments like sour cream. For the best nutritional value, choose the dry sun-dried tomatoes rather than those packed in oil.
Tip: Cooking potatoes in the microwave is fast and easy. For the best texture, be sure to use 50% power for the best texture.
Ingredients
- 4 med. russet potatoes
6 sun-dried tomatoes
¼ cup sliced fresh basil
- 1 Tbsp. capers
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. olive oil
¼ tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Place in the microwave and cook at 50% power until potatoes are tender (20-25 minutes). Stop every 5 minutes to rotate potatoes and check for doneness.
