Ingredients
- 10 purple fingerling potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 Tbs salted butter
- 2 Tbs cream cheese
- 1 Tbs sour cream
- 1 tsp half and half
- 1 Tbs caramelized onions
Directions
- Peel and cube about ten purple fingerling potatoes. They’re small so you may need more since leftovers are definitely encouraged!
- Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes.
