== Quantity of mashed potato ==

===Summary===
* '''Use 600g of cooked mashed potato'''

[[Image:Tunisian beef pie ready to bake.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Tunisian beef pie, ready to bake<br />(using 850g of mashed potato)]]

I making this, I cooked enough [[mashed potato]] for four people without measuring the quantity.

When I came to put the recipe together and measured the amount of cooked mash I had made it was 850g!

I measured 350g of mash and mixed it in with the meat, onions and eggs, the potato virtually disappeared. I added the remaining potato and it looked fine, as in the picture.

350 g may be the correct amount but it certainly did not look right to me, nor would it have fed 4 people. I am wondering if it might be the result of Internet ''Chinese whispers''

I would welcome feedback from anyone with experience of an authentic Tunisian beef pie to clear this one up - in the meantime, I would suggest you use more than 350g of potato.

Follow up after tasting - I would now recommend using 600g of mashed potato - 850 g was too much - 600 should be fine.
