There's a different name for each size. The smallest, the size of garlic cloves, is appropiatly named "Pommes en gousse d'ail" then there's Pommes Chateau, Pommes Nature, and I think the largest, is Pommes Maxim. Probably forgot a few inbetween.

Foodpump,

Maxim is the largest cubed potato, pommes fondant can be turned too, pommes olivettes en gousse d'ail are the smallest turned potato.
