So this is not a fast food as fast as you just fry a potato from a bag frozen from supermarket. However, a 30 minute meal is fast enough though for me. There are 2 ways of cooking the potato, boil and baked. So be patient and this is how I make my version of potato. The portion is for 1 person. So if you want to make more or less than this, just double or reduce it for your taste.
3 Potatoes, wash clean, peel and cut to bite size. Cut smaller/thinner so it will boil faster.
Water to boil
A pinch of salt for boiling the potato
A pinch of salt for baking the potato
White/black pepper
Oregano or other herbs you like (or you can skip it if you don't want to use herbs)
Olive oil for baking (probably around 2-3 tablespoon)
Side dish for this picture: Scramble Egg & Chili Sauce
Boil the water while you clean and cut the potatoes. Put the potatoes into the boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Boil it for around 5-10 minutes, and check by poking the potatoes with fork if it's soft enough so it fall from the fork. But don't let it too soft because it will break when you prepare it for baking.
Preheat the oven (so sorry I don't know how hot but i use both up and bottom heater).
Dry the potato and let it cool for a minute or two. Put the potatoes in a plate/bowl, mix it with the salt, pepper and oregano. Mix it with your hand and shake the potato in the bowl for a while so it will mix.
In a baking tray, pour the olive oil, and coat each potato with the oil while you arrange the potato on the tray.
Baked it in the oven for around 15-20 minutes (depends on how thick you cut the potato). Since it already eatable, you just bake it for the crunchy crust.
While the potato baked, you can prepare the side dishes. I make scramble egg. Or you can boil other vegetable or smoked beef if you like. It's up to you :)
So, after 15-20 minute it is ready. If you see it too greasy because you use too much olive oil, you can put the potato to a paper towel and let it absorb the oil. And it ready to be served.
