FAQs
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, you can use any type of potato, but waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold will hold their shape better than starchy varieties.
Can I make these potatoes ahead of time?
You can prepare the garlic mayonnaise mixture in advance, but it’s best to cook and bake the potatoes close to serving time for optimal taste and texture.
What if I don’t have a broiler?
If you don’t have a broiler, you can bake the potatoes in the oven at a high temperature (around 425°F) until they are golden and cooked through. Just keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
