I Was Not A Fan

I guess I am particular about my potatoes. Mashed potatoes are my go to holiday potato. I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I tried this recipe.

I think the potatoes would have been fine, if there were more potatoes.

The cream sauce is an interesting way to go. It is basically a white sauce with a little mace added.

Mace is in the Nutmeg family of spices. It is the outer shell of the nutmeg ground up, so it has a more earthy nutmeg taste.

My issue is that there was enough sauce for 6 cups of potatoes instead of 6 potatoes. There was more sauce than potato.

I do think the recipe is redeemable. Perhaps adding sauce a little at a time to get the right ratio. . .
