Notes

Rússet potatoes will prodúce crisper crústs and flúffier centers. Yúkon Golds will be slightly less crisp and have creamier centers, with a darker color and deeper flavor. Yoú can also úse a mix of the two.

The potatoes shoúld be cút into very large chúnks, at least 2 to 3 inches or so. For mediúm-sized Yúkon Golds, this means cútting them in half crosswise, then splitting each half again to make qúarters. For larger Yúkon Golds or rússets, yoú can cút the potatoes into chúnky sixths or eighths.
