How to microwave potatoes in a bag

Wash, peel, and rinse the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-4 wedges, depending on your taste and the size of the potatoes. Dry the potatoes with a paper towel.

Add seasonings and spices to taste to the potatoes. Pour in the vegetable oil. Stir until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil, spices, and seasonings.

Place the potatoes in a plastic bag – the kind you use to store food.

We tie the bag in a knot, but not too tightly, so that we can untie it later.

Place the bag of potatoes in the microwave and bake on high power for 5-8 minutes. Baking time depends on the power of your microwave and the size of the potato pieces. After baking, leave the potatoes in the microwave for another 3-4 minutes – this allows the potatoes to cook through.

You can check the readiness of the potatoes with a wooden skewer.

This is an excellent side dish for both meat and fish dishes.
