MICROWAVE SLICED BAKED POTATOES – LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE COPYCAT RECIPE


An easy, irresistible restaurant-style side dish ready in minutes!


 


 



 


Introduction: Why You’ll Love These Microwave Sliced Baked Potatoes


 


There’s something deeply satisfying about a perfectly cooked baked potato — the crispy edges, the fluffy center, the buttery richness — and when it’s infused with melted cheese and fragrant herbs, it’s truly irresistible. These Microwave Sliced Baked Potatoes are a Longhorn Steakhouse copycat recipe that deliver that restaurant-style flavor in a fraction of the time. With no need to preheat an oven or dirty a ton of dishes, this dish is a game-changer for weeknight dinners and special occasions alike. Whether you serve it as a hearty side dish or a light main course paired with a salad, it’s comfort food made quick, easy, and delicious.


 


 



 


Ingredients and Their Roles


 


1. 4 medium evenly-sized potatoes


➤ Choose russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the perfect balance of fluffiness and structure. Uniform size ensures even cooking.


 


 


2. 1 teaspoon salt


➤ Essential for seasoning and enhancing the natural earthy flavor of the potatoes.


 


 


3. 2–3 tablespoons melted butter


➤ Adds richness, helps crisp the edges slightly, and carries the flavor of the herbs throughout the dish.


 


 


4. 2–3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, thyme, or sage)


➤ Fresh herbs infuse the dish with fragrance and depth. Parsley brings brightness, chives add a mild onion note, and thyme or sage add savory warmth.


(Substitute with 2–3 teaspoons dried herbs if fresh isn’t available.)


 


 


5. 4 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese


➤ Provides that melty, gooey, tangy punch — a key feature of any potato dish that feels indulgent.


 


 


6. 1½ tablespoons parmesan cheese


➤ Adds a salty, nutty layer of flavor that contrasts beautifully with the cheddar.


 


 


 


 



 


Step-by-Step Instructions


 


Step 1: Prep Your Potatoes


 


Wash and scrub 4 medium potatoes thoroughly.


 


Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes thinly (about ¼ inch thick), stopping just before you cut all the way through.


➤ Pro Tip: Place a wooden spoon handle or butter knife alongside the potato to keep the knife from slicing completely through — this keeps the base intact while allowing even cooking.


 


 


Step 2: Season and Arrange


 


Place the sliced potatoes in a microwave-safe dish.


 


Drizzle evenly with 2–3 tablespoons of melted butter.


 


Sprinkle with your choice of chopped herbs — parsley, chives, thyme, or sage.


 


 


Step 3: Microwave the Potatoes


 


Microwave on HIGH for 10 minutes total.


➤ Be sure to rearrange or rotate the potatoes at the 5-minute mark to ensure even cooking.


 


 


Step 4: Let Them Rest


 


Remove from the microwave and let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes to continue softening and absorb flavor.


 


 


Step 5: Add Cheese and Finish Cooking


 


Sprinkle each potato generously with grated cheddar and parmesan cheese.


 


Return to the microwave and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes on HIGH, or until the cheeses are fully melted and the potatoes are fork-tender.


 


 


Step 6: Final Touch


 


Finish by sprinkling with 1 teaspoon salt or to taste.


 


Garnish with a few extra herbs if desired for color and added freshness.
