Notes
- Potato sort: It is preferable to use floury or all-purpose (all-rounder) potatoes, for instance, Maris Piper or King Edward in the UK, Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes in the US, Dutch Cream or Desiree in Australia.
- Spices: Substitute with other spices you like. You can use a store-bought spice mixture for potatoes, ras-el hanout, curry powder, Cajun or Italian seasoning, etc.
- Salt: If using table salt, use less; it’s more potent than sea or Kosher salt. If using a store-bought seasoning mixture, please check if it already contains salt and adjust the salt you use accordingly.
