Notes
These bite sized potatoes make perfect appetizers or side dish with so many different menus. From BBQ's to Super Bowl parties, these will become a new favorite!
TIP: Feel free to use russet potatoes, but the Yukon potatoes provide the best crispy on the outside and creamy on the insides results!
I also allowed one Yukon potato per person for adding to the menu. Feel free to just duplicate the recipe for the crowd you are having! For appetizers, you might allow 2 guests per potato, especially if your menu has lots of other great items.
