Hi there! I'm a little confused by the question. This recipe doesn't state it has a surprise ingredient, so I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly? If you can just let me know I'll be happy to help. Thanks!

Recipe calls for 6 potatoes. Would that be 6 small potatoes, 6 medium potatoes, or 6 large potatoes?? Perhaps just saying 1 lb. of potatoes?? Thanks.
