FAQS
Can I use frozen potatoes instead of boiled potatoes for this recipe?
It's best to use boiled potatoes for the best texture and flavor. Frozen potatoes may not yield the same results, as they can contain added moisture and preservatives.

Absolutely! Feel free to customize the flavor by adding your favorite spices or herbs, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or fresh herbs like chives or dill.
