By contrast, I think I peel and slice about 12-15 red potatoes to a total
weight of 1750g.. which would be just under four pounds. This would
probably explain the difference in prep time. Peeling and slicing those
red potatoes takes me about 20 minutes with a mandolin.

(by the way, I use red potatoes because waxy potatoes tend to hold up
better than starchy ones.)
