I've been making this side dish for years. I found it in (I believe) the original Frugal Gourmet cookbook. I loved his show.
Ingredients:
2 baking potatoes ... or more.
butter
one bay leaf for each potato
salt & pepper
string
Directions:
1. Wash the Potatoes. Don't peel them.
2. Cut each Potato in half.
3. Butter both cut sides and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.
4. I've also used other seasonings but the flavors compete with the Bay Leaf.
5. Place one Bay leaf on one Potato half and place the other half on top.
6. Tie the Potato halves together with string.
7. Microwave on High for 7 minutes, depending on the strength of your Microwave.
8. To be honest with you, I cheat and just balance the other half of the potato on top, instead of using string.
