Tips & Tricks
You can microwave your own baby or fingerling potatoes: rinse under water, poke a few holes in each potato with a fork, and place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to the dish, and then cover and microwave for 5 minutes. Check to see if the potatoes are done and if not, continue to microwave in 1-minute increments. Let them rest and cool prior to storing.
You can swap a whole grain (like brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta) for the potatoes (⅓ cup cooked whole grain per serving; 1⅓ cup total for all 4 servings).
To save time, buy hardboiled, peeled eggs at the grocery store.
