Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. You can leave the skins on for extra texture or peel them if you prefer.
- Cut the potatoes: Cut the potatoes in half or quarters depending on their size. Ensure the pieces are roughly uniform to guarantee even cooking.
