| ROASTED POTATOES IN MICROWAVE |
"I have never met a Potato, I didn't like" - as the famous words go... my kids love potatoes in any form, as fries, as wedges, as potato chips, as potato fritters, mashed, baked, in curries and especially in Chicken and Mutton Curries. Potatoes here and Potatoes there... But as for me, I am not a big fan of Potatoes. But I love cooking with them. They come as a rescue ingredient for me. In short of time, or when I have cooked something which my kids don't prefer to have, then and there I make something out of Potatoes that it would be stealthily gobbled up with no complaints. Hail Potatoes !!!
This is a foolproof recipe to get crispy roasted potatoes. Flavor these microwave-roasted potatoes with your family’s favourite herbs and spice, and there you go with spicy and crispy potatoes within minutes. It is one of the fastest methods to roast the potatoes. I have tossed some garlic butter for the fat and a tinge of Red Chilli Powder and Italian herbs (Italian Herbs is a classic combination of Oregano, Basil, Marjoram, Thyme and Rosemary) for the flavour.
