I have been craving potatoes all week. Normally when I have a potato craving I head to No Thai and get a Potato Curry with Chicken and brown rice- delicious! But I have been trying to limit my eating out this week and wanted to make something at home. And the something I wanted was oven fries! I have started coming home in the afternoons to have a late lunch and give myself a break before going back to lab. Since I had something time sensitive going on at the lab I knew I needed to be quick and oven fries are not a quick fix! But I was pretty determined and scoured the internet for some tricks! And I found one!
Take your potatoes (I used red skin) and cut them to the desired size (I chose cubes). Place them in a microwave safe bowl and toss with olive oil and desired seasonings (Garlic, Rosemary, Oregano and Salt and Pepper). Microwave on HIGH for 5 min at a time until fork tender (this varies depending on the size of your potatoes and the number of potatoes you make at one time). Toss between each round of microwaving. 10-15 minutes should be plenty.
Once they are softened, pace in a skillet and saute (no extra oil needed) until crispy or place in the oven at 400F for 15-20 minutes. Super fast and Super crispy!
While I sauteed my potatoes I threw in some sliced bell peppers. I paired these with a piece of salmon and mango salsa. One of the best meals I've had in a long time and it only took 30 minutes :)
