Cooking Notes
After they were cooked, I drained the potatoes and heated them in the saucepan to dry them out, then added a chopped shallot, minced clove of garlic and 2 Tb. butter, cooked on low for 10 mins. Perfect.
Followed the directions in the original instructions and finished the potatoes as written in the note from blueroses. Fantastic!
