How to cook boiled potatoes in 5 minutes
You need to take several potatoes, wash them, peel them and cut them.
The resulting cubes should be placed in a deep dish suitable for a microwave oven.
The container with all its contents should be “packed” in a baking bag. Make several holes in the latter (using a fork or toothpick). Do not tie the bag.
Place the container with potatoes in the microwave oven, operating at maximum power, for 5 minutes.
Next, you need to check the condition of the vegetable with a fork. If it has become soft and can be pierced without problems, then the dish is ready.
If the potatoes are still a bit hard, return them to the microwave. It may take a few more minutes.
