Notes
Potatoes
Keep the potatoes fairly small (cut small potatoes into halves or even thirds) so that they are tender within the cooking time.Make it ahead!
You can (surprisingly) make this ahead. Simply reheat it by covering with aluminium foil and popping in the oven at 325F/140C for 20 minutes.Nutrition
