DO I HAVE TO USE BABY GOLD POTATOES?
No you do not have to use the baby gold potatoes if you are not a fan or cannot find them. You do want baby potatoes so the next best choice is baby red potatoes.
You can also use a mixture of potatoes if you want fun colors in your potatoes, both work very well with the flavor of these so either can be used regardless.
