About potato weight
A potato is one of the least uniform things in the produce aisle: the USDA lists a medium potato at 213 g, yet a large one hits 369 g — nearly double. Recipes that say “two potatoes” quietly assume medium, so aim for the 2-to-3-inch grade or weigh when the ratio matters. (Source: USDA FoodData Central.)
