It's not often a Michelin-acclaimed chef graces Instagram with an easy recipe, so when Chang shared his eight-minute mashed-potato fix, I decided to give it a try.
I also live in a tiny NYC studio apartment and don't have much room for cooking elaborate meals, so this recipe was calling my name.
His rapid-fire video involved him masterfully chopping up potatoes with one hand, tossing them in the microwave, and mashing them to perfection. Although his skills were intimidating, the recipe was pretty straight forward.
I've never tried microwaving potatoes, so I was eager to see out how they'd turn out.
