Peel garlic and mince with salt to prevent sticking
and to absorb garlic juices. Toss garlic with cheese.
In large glass or plastic bowl, make alternate layers
of popped corn and garlic-cheese mixture, coating
popcorn as evenly as possible, especially at edge of
bowl. Place in microwave oven and cook 1 minute.
Shake bowl gently; turn 180 degrees and cook 1 more
minute. Do not overcook. Immediately turn out onto
cookie sheet, and quickly shape into plum-size balls.
Set balls on sheets of waxed paper. Makes 4 dozen
popcorn balls.
