Sausage Spud Salad

Welcome back, students.

Today, I have a microwave only meal idea for you students who are short on time or stuck in a dorm room. This meal is filling, nutritious, and incredibly easy to make.

It has become a comfort meal for me, especially during those harsh Colorado winters. This is a Sausage Spud Salad.

The Recipe:

To prepare this meal, begin by washing a russet potato under water, ensuring you get all of the dirt off. Dry off the potato, then prick it with a fork. This allows it to be ventilated, as well as get the middle hot. Next, wrap the potato in a damp paper towel to ensure it stays moist during the cooking process. Place it on a microwave safe plate, and microwave it for 5 minutes. Flip the potato, and microwave for another 5 minutes. Pull the potato out of the microwave and let it rest for three minutes, or longer if it is still too hot to touch.

In the meantime, cut pre-cooked sausage into very thin pieces, then place on a microwave safe plate. Heat according to the directions. Once the potato is cooled, add butter to the center, followed by your desired toppings.

Add the sausage, and complete with a salad on the side.

This meal is simple, nutritious, and comforting. It is perfect for rounding off a stressful day. To those of you who try, let me know what you think. Leave me comments, or contact me at the bottom of this page.
