Strictly speaking, which I rarely do :), a waxy potato should be used. I just don't think they absorb as much liquid as the bakers and I don't like a gratin with a lot of excess liquid. My choice, and again I emphasize it's not the correct one, is the russet because it's like a sponge.Mary Bergfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234678984137982414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-65278005840897211372009-05-19T11:13:00.000-04:002009-05-19T11:13:00.000-04:00I've never made a potato dish with beer but I love...I've never made a potato dish with beer but I love both French and Belgiun food so will give it a go.
