# What you'll need:
→ Potatoes
01 - 2 medium russet potatoes (about 14 oz), scrubbed

# Method:
01 - Cut the potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds or wedges.
02 - Place the potato pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp water, cover loosely, and microwave on high for 5 minutes until just tender.
03 - Drain excess water, then add olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined microwave-safe plate.
