Ingredients
1½ lbs small potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
⅓ cup chopped parsley
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the small potatoes thoroughly and slice off any blemishes or unwanted spots.
Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate.
Microwave on high for 9–11 minutes, or until fork-tender. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the hot plate.
Toss the hot potatoes in the prepared dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days.
Reheat: Microwave for 1 minute, then in 30-second intervals until heated through.
This method works best with small potatoes for even cooking.
