Notes
-
You can make as many as these tasty potatoes as you need or can fit in your slow cooker but I have based the measurements on 12 baby potatoes to serve 6 people.
-
We have these as a perfect side dish to a BBQ night!
-
You can also vary the toppings to anything else you may like so you never have to have the same versions more than once if you don’t want to!
