Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons beef broth
1 unpeeled large (3/4 pound) russet (baking) potato, scrubbed well and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 onion, sliced thin
coarse salt to taste

Preparation

  1. In a 1-cup glass measure combine the butter and the broth and microwave the mixture at high power (100%) for 1 minute, or until the butter is melted. In a small microwave-safe bowl or casserole arrange one third of the potato slices, drained, in one layer, top them with one third of the onion slices, and layer the remaining vegetable slices in the same manner. Pour the butter mixture over the potato mixture and sprinkle the top with the salt and pepper to taste. Microwave the mixture, three fourths covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap, at high power (100%) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
