Notes
I like using small potatoes because they're bite-sized and cook quickly.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
For a fun twist, try different olives or add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Keep an eye on them while they're baking. They should be soft to the touch but not too mushy.
Enjoy the tasty little bites! 😊
