Buttered potato medley

[highlyeccentric]

This one is my go-to for a potato side-dish: quick, easy, and a good way of getting several kinds of vegies in at once. It takes somewhere between 6 and ten minutes to prepare.

You will need to be able to:
- chop potatoes and other vegetables into small chunks (although it occurs to me that if you have the right kind of food processor, it could do this job for you)
- take a microwave-safe dish in and out of the microwave a couple of times

Things this recipe avoids:
- stoves and boiling water
- the ridiculous lengths of time it takes to cook potatoes in an oven
- the peeling and mashing involved in mashed-potato side dishes

( this way for instructions )

Leftovers of this dish work surprisingly well as a snack the next day, too!
