Cooks Notes
Easily adjust this recipe for any size crowd. The more tots the merrier!
If I cut the hot sauce down to 1 tsp., it will be just right for me! What an interesting combination, Christoph, particularly the addition of the giardiniera.
It is a fantastic combination. It would also be outstanding made with sweet potato fries! Hope you enjoy!
