Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs small red potatoes, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/3 cup fresh herb, chopped i.e basil, parsley, dill
salt and pepper, to taste

  • Pour over hot cooked potatoes.
  • Sprinkle with fresh herbs and toss to mix.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use potatoes that are all about the same size. If you have potatoes of different sizes, cut the larger ones into smaller pieces so that they cook at the same rate as the smaller ones.
  • For a crispy exterior, toss the potatoes with a little olive oil or melted butter before microwaving.
  • Add your favorite seasonings to the potatoes before cooking. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper are all good choices.
  • If you want chewier potatoes, microwave them for less time. If you want softer potatoes, microwave them for longer.
  • Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
