To say that the idea of making potatoes for our brunch meal for our company was an afterthought is an understatement. The meal was almost prepared when I even thought about it. I can't believe that I have never tried cooking potatoes this way before. So fast and so easy. It only takes 6 minutes to cook them and a few more minutes to brown them. Everyone loved them and none were left. Enjoy!
