CHEESY BACON MICROWAVE POTATOES
Since our RV has a microwave, we make use of it whenever we can. This is always a favourite with our family. The amount of potatoes seems alot but I find that when camping, people's appitites increase; at least my families' does. NB I have editid this to correct the "water" issue from the first review.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baking, as they have a fluffy texture and a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
- Scrub the potatoes well before baking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking: This will help to prevent the potatoes from bursting in the microwave.
- Microwave the potatoes on high power for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before cutting them open: This will help to prevent the potatoes from falling apart.
- Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Cheddar cheese, bacon, butter, sour cream, and chives are all popular choices.
