Notes
- Potatoes take a little big longer to cook in the oven than chicken does, so it's a good idea to first add the potatoes, then the cubed chicken pieces.
- The smaller the potato bites, the better, I wouldn't go for large pieces. If you use baby potatoes, best to half or even quarter them.
- New potatoes don't necessarily need to be peeled, but that's up to you, it's not a big deal if you leave the skin on.
- The baking time depends entirely on the size of your potatoes. And even type of oven, so check them regularly, and give them a good shake, so that they cook evenly.
