Yummy! I used a mix or red and yellow potatoes. It took longer than expected to cook through, but worth the wait! made for Culinary Quest 2014

Nancy! these spuds are wonderful. I couldn't find purple potatoes so went with the suggested small yellow potato. These potatoes were so tasty, tender and delicious. We really enjoyed the flavor. The potatoes were really quick and easy to make. Thanks for sharing another winner, that I will make again.
