These potatoes are fabulous to cook with, the Sierra Gold is a mix of a Russet and Yukon Gold. Especially when using a ricer for the cooked potatoes, if possible, this recipe comes out super creamy! When I prepare my sweet 'n salty glazed carrots along with these spuds I always use the rendered sweet 'n salty carrot oil to drizzle over them!
