Looks  good.  Also never heard of instant miso either, can there be a substitute.

I followed the recipe, but it was difficult to get the potatoes cooked through. I seared them and then put them in the microwave to finish. In addition, my miso was thick and I loosened with a little water to make it easier to coat the potatoes.

It sounds wonderful, but where does one get instant miso or miso paste??? Never heard of it.
