This is a quick & easy recipe.
It makes a great side dish.
You could easily nuke a whole potato & just load it up.
It takes an hour to bake potatoes. When they are nuked, they are considered steamed.

1 tsp Sea Salt

10 cups hot water

Follow the directions on the box to mix.
You can control your fat portions better by adding them to each individual portion.

Add toppings.

You might also consider microwaving a 16 oz bag of broccoli cuts. Steam them.

Set up all the condiments & fixings on a lazy suzan.

The kids LOVE to dress their own potatoes.

Tonight we had it with baked breaded Flounder. (Cape Gourmet Brand)
