Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- I used dirt-brushed sebago potatoes (an all-rounder potato readily available in Australian supermarkets).
- The cheddar cheese that is added to the cream and potatoes could be swapped for another cheese that melts well.
- More cheddar can be substituted for the mozzarella.
