I have never seen potatoes that small, they were about 1 inch across. The sprouts and the potatoes were halved and cooked with a slight char. They were tender and very delicious. It never occurs to me to take a picture!!

Sounds wonderful, thanks for the idea! You're right that those one
inch potatoes are hard to find. You could use fingerlings and cut
them to size - it wouldn't be as cute, but it would work.
