Recipe Hacks:
- Yukon Gold Potatoes save time because no need to peel. The skins are soft and thin so easy to eat.
- Use chicken broth instead of water! Replacing the water with broth makes them even more soaked up with flavor.
- Salt the potatoes after water boils. If salt before there is a boil the salt stays at the bottom of pot and the potatoes are not seasoned well!
- Cut the potatoes small. The smaller you cut the more evenly cooked and faster they cook.
- Make this a vegetarian recipe. Use mushroom or vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
