can be greasy and heavy feeling, but not these, they have a wonderful texture and slight crunch,
without the greasy feeling in your mouth. I don't like the white starch potatoes, because the starch can take over the dish. I used yellow flesh potatoes, but also good ispurple flesh potatoes. My twist on the recipe is adding an apple along with a leek.This gives a sweet flavor from both the leek and apple, then the potato
balances it and brings it together. I also have given an option of adding an egg, but it's not necessary, you can leave it out whether you eat vegan or not! I want everyone to eat healthy so if you are not vegan you can still make the recipe and savor the delicious flavors:)
You can serve them savory or sweet.
Topping is up to you!
I like strawberry jam, agave syrup, maple syrup,and even salsa.
Creme fraiche or a yogurt can give a cooling taste!
