This is the recipe that my Mom used when she didn't want to make mashed potatoes but she wanted to have warm potatoes - quick.

Ingredients

• 5 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 cups water
• 2 - 3 Tbsp butter

• Pepper

Step 1

Place the potatoes in a glass, microwaveable dish. Add the salt and pepper to the potatoes. Place the butter evenly around the dish; Add the water. Cover the dish and microwave it for 15 - 20 minutes. The potatoes should be fork tender.
