Ingredients

4 small Yukon Gold potatoes (about 12 ounces total), unpeeled

    Cook unpeeled potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until partially cooked, about 10 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Slice potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
