This is my absolute favorite way to cook potatoes!!! I add a few herbs to mine as well to go towards the spice of the rest of the meal. I’ve been known to pop them in the microwave for one minute while the water is boiling to help speed things up. Works great. But I don’t like to nuke them any longer than that. Still not sure microwaves are safe and definitely not to cook something all the way. It does help in a pinch though!
Thank you! I never know how long to boil or bake. For the smashed potatoes, I was thinking how yummy they would be if you also added a bunch of cheese! For your next post could you do corn...boiling and grilling?
Corn can be eaten raw — so when boiling I just do it a minute or two to get it hot. Make sure the water is at a rolling boil & salted like the ocean. I’m not the one to ask about grilling. My parents grow corn for us in summer and we didn’t grill at home. Corn in my family is almost always eaten off the cob, except those few glorious days in summer when it is ripe.

These are all great ideas, Denise!
