Method

  1. Wash the potatoes very well and, if possible, scrub them with a brush to remove all dirt or residue, as you will cook them with their skin on.
  2. Cut them in a rough-cut style: insert the blade of the knife into the potato and tear off the piece. This cut helps release the starch better during cooking.
  3. Place the potato pieces in a deep microwave-safe dish. Add the oil, salt, pepper and oregano, and mix well so the potatoes are coated with the seasonings.

  4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and make a few holes in it with the tip of a knife.

  5. Cook for 10 minutes at maximum power. The time may vary depending on the quantity of potatoes, so check the doneness from time to time.
  6. Remove the potatoes from the microwave, uncover them and add a little finely chopped parsley or chives to make them look even more appetizing. Enjoy!
