Microwave “Fried” Potatoes

Microwave FRIED Potatoes

My husband LOVES fried potatoes although his waistline doesn’t. My mom told me about these red skinned potatoes that she fries in the microwave. I was skeptical and heard her tell me about them many times before I forgot to cook the potatoes for dinner. I needed them in a hurry and thought back to her telling me about them. Needless to say they are amazing. Of course there isn’t the little fried parts but they are close and so much healthier.
