Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 2

Using a fork, pierce each potato a few times to allow even cooking in the microwave.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (leave a small vent to allow steam to escape).

Step 4

Microwave the potatoes on high for 7–8 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 10-second intervals, being careful not to overheat.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully drain any liquid and let them cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.

Step 8

Gently tumble the potatoes with the melted butter until evenly coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the potatoes, ensuring every piece is covered for a nice, crumbly texture.

Step 10

Return the dish to the microwave and cook on high for an additional 2 minutes to toast the breadcrumbs slightly.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the microwave and let it cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Microwave Crumb Potatoes warm and enjoy!
