Notes
FAQ
Yukon gold potatoes are great for this recipe for their creamy texture and sweet taste. An alternative would be russet potatoes.
I prefer either Best Foods or Hellman's Brand. For a healthier option I like to use Follow Your Heart Vegenaise.
Absolutely not. The yolk will add flavor and a an even creamier result.
I don't recommend it. Refrigerate it for 3-5 days at most.
For 2" pieces, let the potatoes boil for at least 15 minutes. Drain and then let them sit as is until they cool down.
