Lusog Notes
This dish is a good source of protein which is important not only for growth and development but also for the repair of body tissues and regulation of body processes.
Chef`s Tip
For a smooth mashed potato, mash the potatoes while hot and do not overmix. Overmixing the potatoes will make it gummy because the starch will be overworked.
