When you open a can of potatoes drain out the water. Rinse the potatoes well. You want to rinse off the liquid they were in. This will keep the liquid that they were stored in from influencing your recipe.

These golden potatoes take about 25 minutes to cook and for them to turn a lovely color. You could modify this recipe by the herb mixture you add to this recipe. I personally like this with Penzey’s Fox Point seasoning, but I bet they would be great with a dry Ranch salad dressing mix as well.
