Note

If using ham, ensure it is fully cooked before adding.

Wash potatoes gently without scrubbing to keep the thin skin intact. Leave them whole.

Pierce each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.

You can add chopped walnuts for texture or diced ham for a savory twist.

Let the potatoes stand for 10 minutes after cooking to cool slightly before handling.
