"6 large potatoes such as russet or Yukon gold?" That can be a wide variance, since large is subjective. Besides, large for a Yukon gold may be medium for a russet. How anbout giving a weight?

Hello, and thank you for reaching out! That's a great question. Since potatoes can vary in weight, what you could do is slice three or four potatoes, layer the slices in the pan, then slice more potatoes until you have enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Hopefully that helps!

I have made this with and without ham. I think I prefer it without the ham. It is a very good recipe. It can easily be adjusted to make extra for when you are cooking for a large crowd. It takes a bit of time and effort, but it is worth it.
