👨‍🍳 Instructions

Scrub the potato, and prick several time with the tines of a fork.

Place on a plate.

Cook on full power in the microwave for 5 minutes.

Turn over, and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.

When the potato is soft, remove from the microwave, and cut in half lengthwise.

Season with salt and pepper, and mash up the inside a little using a fork.

Top the open sides with butter and 2 tablespoons of cheese.

Return to the microwave, and cook for about 1 minute to melt the cheese.

Top with remaining cheese and sour cream, and serve.
