These Baby Potatoes are Twice the Fun
Whether you're planning a big New Year's Eve party or a small dinner gathering, these twice-baked baby potatoes are sure to delight. We have made large potatoes like this, but I thought it would be fun to do the baby potatoes as a warm appetizer to pass around. They ...By Susie Iventosch
