Did love the taste of the dish though thought the cinnamon was a little bit too much (I had scaled back for 3 serves using carisma potatoes which are low GI) but felt the mix was too sloppy for our tastes so would cut back on the butter and milk to make the consistency we like but loved the addition of the crunchy toasted pine nuts, thank you Sticky Toffee, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.

I cut this recipe in half for just the 2 of us, & I also left the potatoes unpeeled, since we like 'em that way! Before mashing them, however, I did cut them into smallish chunks to there would be no large piece of peel in the final dish! Because of the peel, it was not the most pleasant looking dish, but it certainly was tasty! Loved the topping of pine nut & onion! {Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
