Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit more milk or using half-and-half instead of milk. If you want to add a twist, try mixing in some shredded cheese or herbs like chives or dill. Garlic powder can be a good substitute for fresh garlic if you prefer a milder flavor. This dish can also be made with sweet potatoes for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions

For a complete meal, consider offering a salad or a side of steamed vegetables. This dish also complements American recipes featuring hearty flavors.
