Cooking tips
- Microwaving the potatoes instead of boiling them in a large amount of water prevents them from absorbing excess moisture and drives off their own water, resulting in a uniquely chewy texture that doesn't fall apart.
- If you add butter at the beginning, it will burn before the potatoes are cooked. Always use oil first to brown the surfaces, then add butter at the end for the best flavor.
- Salting the potatoes before adding butter causes osmosis, which shrinks the skins and makes them wrinkled, while also helping the sweet and salty flavors penetrate evenly.
Recommended for
- Those who want to recreate the golden, wrinkled, chewy texture of highway rest stop baby potatoes at home.
- Those who want to make a quick, easy, sweet and salty, nutritious snack for kids without peeling potatoes.
- Those who want a simple sweet-and-salty finger food or snack to enjoy with a beer.
