I made this last night, and it was just okay. It was pretty bland. I think you need to do more with the potatoes. Mashing them dry just doesn't work very well. Have to at least use a little milk. Like my last post, I do not think this serves 8. It fed 4...barely. Also what % of beed did you use? - 4/10/10

I always mash the potatoes after boiling them in water, so maybe that gives them moisture. My beef (is that what you mean?) comes without a percentage, but I got the leanest I found.
