Notes
- To Store: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: In the microwave or in the frying pan. Put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes - you may need to add a little bit of water or oil so that it doesn't go dry. Alternatively, reheat in the frying pan - you may need to add a bit of oil so it doesn't stick to the pan.
- Boiled potatoes: You can also cook the potatoes by boiling them in a large pot of water for about 8 minutes until tender, but do not overcook. Drain well.
