These potatoes are easy, delicious, and a total cheat because all of the cooking is done in the microwave. It is my go-to recipe in a pinch, and it goes well with anything. I have it for weeknight dinners as well as casual entertaining. People always like it and no one ever says, “This tastes microwaved!” If I’m really pressed for time, I would make it early in the day to be reheated at mealtime. (No one ever knew!)

they aren’t “quick and easy” if you have to peel them … duh
There is nothing in the instructions that tells you to peel, and the pictures clearly show unpeeled potatoes.
