    Method

    1. Preheat a barbecue plate and grill on medium-high heat. Place potato, in a single layer, in a microwave-safe dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon water. Cover. Cook on HIGH (100%) for 8 to 9 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Add green onion, tomatoes and oil. Toss gently to combine.
