Notes

HOW DO I PREPARE  MY POTATOES

  1. Wash your potatoes 
  2. cut your potato down the center, then cut that half in half again so you have a moon shaped section. 
  3. If you feel your section is still too thick or large you may slice it in half again

DO I NEED TO PEEL MY POTATOES? 

Most small  potatoes have a thin skin that only adds some delicious extra texture and crispiness. But if you feel your potatoes skins are extra thick and chewy you can peel them before seasoning.
