How to cook potatoes in the microwave in a bag

We wash the potatoes, peel them and rinse well. We cut each tuber in half, and then each half into 2-4 slices - it depends on your taste and the size of the potatoes. Dry the potatoes with a paper towel.

Add seasonings and spices to the potato to taste. Pour in vegetable oil. Stir so that the potatoes are evenly coated with oil, spices and seasonings.

We spread the potatoes in a plastic bag - the most common one that you use to store food.

We tie the bag to the knot, but not very tight so that you can then untie it.

A bag of potatoes is placed in a microwave and baked at maximum power for 5-8 minutes. The baking time depends on the capacity of the oven, the size of the pieces of potatoes. After baking is over, leave the potatoes in the microwave for another 3-4 minutes - during which time the potatoes “reach”.
