Choice of Potatoes

The choice of potatoes is extremely important. Idaho potatoes will not work because they contain too much moisture and starch and fall apart too easily; keep them for baking. The best potatoes to use for the farcement/farci/farçon family of dishes are:

• Yellow Finnish potatoes
• White Rose potatoes
• Maine Round flat potatoes
• Long Island potatoes
• Prince Edward Island potatoes
• California September new potatoes
