FAQ
Can I use different types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, any small waxy potatoes work well. Fingerlings or baby red potatoes are good alternatives that hold their shape during cooking.

For firmer yolks, bake an additional 2-3 minutes. For very runny yolks, check after 3-4 minutes in the final bake.
How long will leftovers keep in the refrigerator?
