How to Microwave Baby Potatoes

Let’s all agree to stop boiling our potatoes, okay? There’s a better way! With an Anyday dish and a microwave, you can cut the cook time by more than half. There’s no need to wait for a pot of water to boil on the stovetop just to end up with waterlogged potatoes. Instead, steam baby potatoes in the microwave with a vented Anyday dish to lock in moisture and nutrients, resulting in a fork-tender texture every time. This method works for any type of baby potato, including red skin, white, gold, and fingerlings. However, note that marble potatoes are much smaller and require shorter cook times. This is the perfect shortcut for potato salad, roasted potatoes, or crispy smashed potatoes, too!

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
