Notes
- No preheat needed.
- Cut potatoes into larger chunks than I did in mine. Most of my chopped fell through the holes in the basket. They were still delicious when I retrieved them.
- You don’t have to peel the potatoes. If you do prefer unpeeled, be sure to scrub the skin properly. Organic potatoes maybe a better option if you want the skin on.
- If using baby potatoes, no need to peel. Simply wash and cut each into halves.
