Microwave on high until potatoes are tender but not falling apart, apx 7 to 9 mins, shaking bowl ( without removing plastic but you may have to lift a corner to let some air in as it will vacuum seal it ) to redistribute potatoes halfway through cooking. Slowly remover plastic wrap from bowl ( be careful of steam ) and drain potatoes. Arrange potatoes on rimmed baking sheet and cool until potatoes firm up, about 10 mins.
  3. 3. Heat remaining 3 quarts oil for frying to 340 degrees. Combine flour and cornstarch in a medium bowl and whisk buttermilk and baking soda in a large bowl.
