Ingredients
- 1 large potato
- ½ cup quark (or sour cream)
Optional:
- 1 tbsp butter (vegan margarine)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Microwave the large potato for nine minutes. A medium potato needs seven minutes and a small potato needs five minutes. To add extra potatoes allow an extra four minutes for a large potato, three minutes for a medium potato and two minutes for a small potato. This is using a 1000w microwave – adjust for slightly longer or shorter if yours is a higher or lower power. Don't forget to pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times.
- When ready, slice a deep groove through the middle of the potato in both directions. Repeat the process diagonally.
- Add optional butter, salt and pepper to the potato.
- Pour the quark or sour cream over the potato.
- Enjoy!
