Notes

NOTE: Please ensure potatoes are cut thinly or they may need to be precooked before making this dish, otherwise they will not cook through. Alternatively, make a potato mash prior if cutting potatoes is too time consuming for larger centres.

  • Use 600 g firm tofu, drained and crumbled or finely diced
