I used Yukon Golds and hand cut them into medium wedges. I put them into the machine for 50 minutes with a tablespoon of olive oil. FANTASTIC! Next time I will soak the potatoes a bit in salty water as they lacked a bit of flavor that some brining in salt will cure. I'm so excited to do stir fry and chicken wings for the SO.

It's very easy to operate and clean. My only complaint is that the timer doesn't shut the machine off so you need to keep a mental note to not forget it if you aren't in earshot.
