Microwave Potato Cake is a new recipe to add to my Microwave Recipes, a delicious and very easy savory cake to prepare!
After cooking potatoes in the microwave in various ways, like Roast New Potatoes in the Microwave or Gratin Potatoes in the Microwave, I decided to make this cake with a base of potatoes without dough, but cooked in the microwave and then mashed directly in the baking pan! Genius, right? You can then fill the microwave potato cake as you wish, I chose fresh baby spinach accompanied by cherry tomatoes and a cream similar to that of a quiche!

Pour a drizzle of oil on the bottom of the baking pan and grease it evenly.
Sprinkle some breadcrumbs on the bottom, then place the boiled potatoes previously microwaved inside.
Mash the potatoes with a glass to create a uniform base.
Season with a pinch of salt.
Also add, if desired, pepper and paprika. Optionally, you can also add herbs like rosemary or thyme.

In a bowl, pour cream along with yogurt and egg.
