Notes
- Idaho potatoes - I like to use these starchy, soft, and fluffy potatoes for this recipe. Red and yellow potatoes take too long to cook and are too firm.
- Cooking the potatoes - Too much water will make the potatoes mushy. I add just 1 cup and steam the potatoes.
- Dealing with excess liquid - If the potatoes are cooked but there's still water in the pan, carefully remove them using a slotted spatula. Then, continue cooking to reduce the remaining liquid.
