Instructions

Baby potatoes are ideal for this recipe; I used 500g. First, wash the potatoes very well to remove any dirt.

There's no need to peel them; the crispy skin adds another layer of flavor after cooking. However, you can peel them if you prefer.

Pierce a few holes in the potatoes with a fork.
Next, place the potatoes into a microwave-safe bowl with a lid.
I like to use a glass bowl for this.
Add 3-4 tablespoons of water.

This amount is just right, so don't add more.

Also, add ½ teaspoon of salt and mix everything thoroughly.
Cover the bowl with its lid and microwave on high (900 watts) for 5 minutes.
After microwaving, you'll find the potatoes are soft and have absorbed the water.
Now, add fresh herbs; I used parsley, rosemary, and thyme from my kitchen. Roughly chop the herbs before adding those.

If fresh herbs aren't available, you can use dried herbs or simply a teaspoon of pizza seasoning.

Finally, add 50g of butter, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper powder, and 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic.
Mix everything together very well.
Microwave the potatoes uncovered on medium heat (600 watts) for 10 minutes.
After the first 5 minutes, remove the bowl and stir the potatoes well to ensure even cooking, then return them to the microwave for the remaining 5 minutes.
In just 15 minutes, you'll have perfectly soft potatoes, full of herb flavor, with delightfully crispy and crunchy skins, all from your microwave!
Carefully take the herb potatoes out of the microwave, give them another stir, and serve them hot alongside baked chicken, roasted chicken, and rice.

Notes

For this recipe, I use baby potatoes with their skins, but regular potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, or even potato pieces, work just as well.
I prefer fresh herbs, though dried herbs are a good substitute.
To add some spice, you can stir in chili pepper flakes while cooking, or for a wonderful flavor boost, toss in a few green chilies.
I typically use salted butter; however, unsalted butter or olive oil can be used instead, just remember to adjust the salt in the dish accordingly.
To make this dish vegan, simply use olive oil instead of butter.
