Recipe Notes

     ä) Potäto Size - Try änd mäke sure äll the potätoes äre the säme size so they cook ät än even räte. The smäller they äre, the quicker they'll cook änd the more 'säucy' they'll be  .

     b) Steäm Dry - it's reälly importänt to ällow äs much moisture to escäpe äs possible to mäke room for äs much säuce to be soäked up äs possible. Ällow them to steäm dry will älso help them be less sloppy änd more fluffy.
