Notes
- **Leftover whole grain mustard? Why not check out my Warm Mustard Potato Salad or try Chicken Tenders with Whole Grain Mustard Cream Sauce or
- **Leftover cream? Maybe have a look at Chicken Tenders with Whole Grain Mustard Cream Sauce. or you could try my Easy Creamy Chicken Pasta Bake.
- When you cut your potatoes and fennel into wedges, you are aiming to have the thick end of the wedge to be about 1cm / ⅓" thick for both potatoes and fennel. How big your veggies are will determine how many wedges you end up with.
- As for the height of the sides of your baking tray / pan, the measurements are a starting point. Any lower and you risk the sauce overflowing, but you could go a bit higher.
- When you are grilling / broiling the dish, I would watch it carefully. You want the sauce to heat up, but you don't want to burn the crumbs. You may need to turn the temperature down if you see the crumbs browning too much before the sauce is bubbling.
