Can I Microwave the Potatoes?

Yes, you can! To microwave them, pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and place them on a large microwave-safe plate, omitting the oil. Microwave on High until tender, about 20 minutes.

Should I Peel the Potatoes?

There’s no need to peel the potatoes. Potato skin is edible, nutritious andfiber-rich. Leaving the potato skins on adds texture to the casserole, as well.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
