When using Yukon Gold Potatoes in this recipeNovember 20, 2009By faith.gitlow
"When roasting Yukon Gold potatoes or using them in a pot-roast, cut the pieces smaller than you would with red potatoes, idaho, or russet. Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well, but I find that they take much longer to get nice and soft - so expect to cook longer or cut wedges smaller or slices thinner!"
