INFO & TIPS

Use baking powder for excellent results
Cool mash completely before placing on savoury mince to avoid sinking when baking.

**My note **
for excellent results
In order to avoid mash potatoes sinking in, use cool mash as topping
Scallion spring onions and roasted garlic can be used for garnishing.
For lighter mash ,baking powder is recommended for excellent results.
Crowd pleaser.double if need be.
