These potatoes are easy to make and don't need to be prepared in the oven. Making them a great summertime side dish. Sprinkle with a little bacon and serve with a salad for a great light dinner.
Place the clean potatoes on a cutting board and slice 3/4 the way through the potato. To make a fan. Don't cut al the way through, you want the potato to hold together.
Once potatoes are sliced, brush the potatoes with oil. Be sure to get between each slice well.
Place the oiled potatoes in a glass baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Work some between the slices too.
Microwave on high for about 10-16 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese, if the cheese doesn't melt well, microwave for 30 seconds to melt cheese.
