Can you make this side ahead of time?
You can make this dish a couple of days ahead of time if you wish and leftovers keep well. Let the potatoes and beans cool to room temperature and transfer to an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and you can reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
What are the best potatoes to use?
I like to use red potatoes in this recipe. I love the color they add to the dish and they aren't very starchy so they hold their shape well when they are cooked. Yukon gold or new potatoes will also work well, but avoid russet potatoes that are very starchy and will fall apart.
