These are crispy and perfectly golden on the outside but tender on the inside! Potatoes that look slow roasted with a tantalising crust in a fraction of the time. Fire up the microwave!

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6-8 new baby potatoes, skin on
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
garlic salt
2 green onions
salt
pepper

Directions

1
Wash potatoes and poke with a fork to prevent splitting.
2
Place in microwave for about 4 minutes until potatoes are cooked but not mushy. If you overcook them they will fall apart in they frying stage.
3
If you have asbestos fingers, cut spuds into quarters now, otherwise wait until they cool.
4
Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan. Ensure it's hot enough so the spud sizzles as it hits the oil.
5
Fry until potatoes are golden on all sides, season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
6
Toss in finely sliced green onions and stir through.
7
Serve hot with ketchup for dipping!

Options:Try seasoning spuds just before frying by dusting with a packet of Mexican taco spice, or while still hot toss with parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs.
