Steam Potatoes

Peel and cube potatoes, then add them to a large saucepan with about an inch of water. Steam on a medium heat until tender. You can test by using a butter knife to cut a potato cube in half or stick a fork inside!

Baking

Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. If you want the top to be extra golden brown, broil on high for 2-4 minutes at the end.

Helpful Tips

For a crispy golden-brown top, just broil on high for 2-4 minutes at the end! – I like to top mine with fresh thyme, olive oil, and extra salt & pepper. – To speed up the prep process, you can use leftover chicken, or a rotisserie chicken! Add the leftover chicken to a bowl, and shred with a fork.
