• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic.

Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

CRAZY COOLER COOKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Start with boiling pot of hot water. Add salt pepper and crab boil bag for flavor to the boiling water.
• Add 20 lbs of chopped up red skin potatoes. Leave skins on if you desire. Boil until potatoes are almost done. I cook them til they are fork tender and just about done- as long as they are not mushy they will be fine. If you have taken them too far and they are cooked more than you like just let them cool until they are warm but not steaming before putting them in the cooler.You may want to warm the add ins before tossing them into the cooler to ensure they melt.
• Dump boiled potatoes into clean cooler/ice chest Igloo type cooler. (We use a brand new one or one that has been cleaned well with bleach and rinsed well).
• With clean plastic gloves and a long knife, slice through the entire 'mess' of food, cutting and slicing through to make the pieces as small as you like. This will also help to mix it well. Cut as much as you like and REMEMBER the potatoes are HOT- so be careful!
• Optional Ingredients: You can either serve them separately and allow your guests to add their own OR you can add them now using the knife method.
• Now, close the lid of the cooler and lock them up. Make sure NO ONE opens it! The steam will continue to cook the potatoes.
• They will stay warm for HOURS and be ready and perfect when you are ready to serve.
• PS. You CAN do these in a foil pan too for easy clean up. You can even put the pan in the cooler! Or line the cooler with foil!
