Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding fresh garlic or paprika to the mix for an extra flavor boost. If you don't have margarine, butter or a vegan alternative can work well. Additionally, using Yukon Gold or red potatoes will yield a creamier texture. Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
Serving Suggestions
