- Dipping isn’t just for potatoes. You can dip anything your heart desires—chips, pitas, pieces of bread. The world is your smorgasbord.
- Getting potatoes that are similar in size will help ensure they all cook at the same rate.
- If you can’t find baby red skin potatoes, try dicing regular potatoes into large chunks and prepare per recipe.
- No beer, no problem. Deglaze the pan in just a splash of olive oil instead.
- If the cheese gets too thick, return to heat and stir in a little heavy cream.
