# What You'll Need:
→ Potatoes
01 - 2 medium russet potatoes (approximately 14 oz), scrubbed

# Steps to Follow:
01 - Slice potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds or wedges using a sharp knife.
02 - Place potato pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons water, cover loosely with a plate or microwave-safe lid, and microwave on high for 5 minutes until just tender.
03 - Drain any excess water, then add olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Toss well to ensure even coating.
04 - Arrange the coated potato pieces in a single layer on a large microwave-safe plate lined with parchment paper.
05 - Microwave uncovered on high for 4 to 5 minutes, flip each piece, then microwave for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crispy. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
