To prepare, remove the outer packaging and vent the film cover. Place the container on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for the time indicated on the package, usually around 4-6 minutes, or until heated through. Stir halfway through the cooking time for even heating. Let it stand for a minute or two before carefully removing the film. Serve hot, and enjoy the combination of tender potato, savory toppings, and creamy elements.
