Notes
Feel free to play with the flavors!
Sometimes I like adding a bit of cheese for extra taste.
Consider using herbs like chives for a pop of color. 😊
Using different types of potatoes can also change the texture.
Yukon Golds make them extra buttery!
Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
