Notes

    • Don’t worry about peeling the potatoes. Because baby yellow potatoes have such a thin skin, it will become super tender when it’s boiled so you don’t need to take extra time to peel it off!

    • If you use another type of potato – like Russets – you might want to peel them first.

    • For extra flavor, boil potatoes in chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.

    • Add a kick to the dressing with a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
