Hi all,
Don't like to burst bubbles, but this recipe calls for a significant amount
of mustard, which is high in fat. I don't have the stats to hand, but
mustard is something which should be used very lightly if you want to keep
your fat intake down.
If the recipe is followed, I expect the fat per serving is acceptable. If
you use half the potatoes and twice the spice mixture...?
