  2. These turned out real well. Thank you for posting. I used gold potatoes, variety of sizes, so had to take some out of the boiling water sooner. I would check at 10 minutes unless you're using baby potatoes. They look great and are indeed more fun to eat off a stick! We're bringing them to a music festival/birthday picnic.
