Notes
Any color of small or baby (new) potatoes can be used such as red or white. However, I recommend using yellow (gold) potatoes, if available.
To save any leftovers, first bring them to room temperature. Then pack them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy the leftovers within 3 to 5 days either cold or reheated in the microwave or oven.
