How to Microwave Baby Potatoes

Let’s all agree to stop boiling our potatoes—there’s a better way! With an Anyday dish and a microwave, you can cut the cook time by more than half while keeping baby potatoes moist and tender. No waiting for water to boil, no waterlogged potatoes—just perfectly steamed spuds in minutes. The vented lid locks in moisture and nutrients, delivering fork-tender results every time. This method works for any type of baby potato—red skin, white, gold, and fingerlings—though marble potatoes need a shorter cook time. Use this as a quick prep step for potato salad, roasted potatoes, or crispy smashed potatoes finished under the broiler. 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.
