How to use this list

Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t swap sweetened or flavored oat milk, as it can make the mashed potatoes taste odd. Avoid using red or green lentils; brown lentils hold their shape best for the filling. Skipping the fresh thyme or using dried can change the flavor profile, so use fresh if possible. Don’t forget the flour; it thickens the filling and prevents it from being too runny.
