Notes
- Potatoes: Grab a waxy variety, like Yukon gold, for the best results.
- Ingredients: Sub in vegetable broth and vegan butter for a vegan dish.
- Prep-Ahead: You can slice the potatoes and store them in a bag in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 days ahead of time. They will stay fresher when kept in water with a bit of salt.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
- Freezing: While you can tightly wrap these potatoes and freeze for up to 1 month, the texture won't be quite the same when thawed due to the water content in the potatoes.
- Reheating: Warm the potatoes back up in a 350℉ oven for 10 to 15 minutes. You can use the microwave, as well.
