…how much mashed potato I need for the huge shepherds’ pie I often take to a dd on a Monday - to feed at least 6, inc. 2 x hollowed legged elder Gdcs. But having started to mash, I can see that it won’t be anything like enough - I need to peel and boil at least half as much again.
Where is the daft old Granny emoji??

Same here..I usually end up adding sweet potatoes to the mash to eke it out. I forget that people have different potion sizes too.😃

I’m the opposite, often do too many!

But I just freeze the spare, never wasted.
