Small, Medium, or Large?
When it is said Small, Medium, or Large as in potatoes, how do you determine the weight or size of such?
Hi Richard,
I grew up among the potato fields of Idaho, so my judgment of potatoes may be a little off, as I've gleaned some HUGE bakers, that I'd term "Large."
When I buy the bagged potatoes from the store, I'd say they are "puny!" However, they are probably actually "medium-sized."
For a more factual serving size, a medium potato is about 5 oz after cooking. If you recall the size of the "old-fashioned" computer mouse (old-fashioned meaning outdated by 3 years?? :-) ), that is the size of a medium potato. With that visual in mind, you can now judge smaller and larger bakers easily.
Hope this helps,
