Notes
- Rinsing the potatoes is important, because it reduces some of the sodium content.
- If some of the potatoes in your can are large, then you can half or quarter them if needed. But try to make sure that they are an even size so they all cook at the same rate.
- The smaller you cut your potatoes, the quicker they will cook so you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- Once cooked, why not toss them in some melted garlic butter? SO good.
