For the purpose of this recipe, I used yellow skinned mini potatoes, however, you can also use mini red potatoes, fingerling potatoes, or russet potatoes. You can sub in sweet potatoes as well but keep in mind they won’t get as crispy. No matter which type of potato you choose to use, the most important thing is that you cut them up into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly. If you don’t have little potatoes on hand, you can also use larger potatoes. If you opt for regular-sized potatoes, first slice them in half lengthwise and then place them flat side down. Cut them into strips that resemble french fries. Next cut those strips into cubes about 1/2 inch in size.
