First, and most important take all steps to assure that the electricity is disconnected from the fixture.
Many fixture may not have enough room to get the flat end of a cut potato into the bulb socket. Using an uncut potato often works better, as it gets further down into the broken bulb and the skin offers more turning resistance to easier free a stubborn bulb.
