4. Feel free to jazz them up with garlic or onion powder for another flavor dimension.
5. Experiment with sweet potatoes for a delightful twist on this classic side.

Absolutely! Fingerlings, sweet potatoes, or even Yukon golds work fabulously.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?
Nah! Keeping the skins on adds flavor and nutrients. Plus, who has time for peeling anyway?
