The best potatoes are crispy potatoes. We pre-cook whole marble potatoes in the microwave to get them soft and creamy, and then smash them to get those nooks and crannies crunchy in the oven. Eat them as-is or load them up with your favorite toppings!
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

What You’ll Need
The Medium Deep Dish
The best dish for 1-2 portions of grains, veggies, mac and cheese, ramen, and more.
The Medium Shallow Dish
Look no further for making poached eggs, desserts, dips, and small portions of meat or fish.

Handle hot Anyday dishes with care with these microwave mitts that double as trivets!
Ingredients
- ½ lb (225g) marble potatoes, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Sour cream for garnish
- Chives or parsley for garnish
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Add potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper into the Anyday dish and stir to coat. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 6 minutes stirring halfway through, until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Evenly distribute potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Using a fork, back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup, gently smash each potato to about ½” height. (Thinner potatoes will be crispier!)
- Crisp in the oven at 450°F for about 20 minutes or until you see the potatoes’ edges become golden-brown and crispy. Season to taste.
Serving suggestions & tips
- Toss crispy smashed potatoes with sautéed garlic and fresh herbs.
- Mix with steamed broccoli for a delicious side dish.
- Season with chili crisp for extra flavor and spice.
Recipe notes
- Cook the potatoes up to 5 days ahead, then smash and crisp up when needed.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
