Chef tips
If the potato mixture feels too soft, add 1 extra tablespoon of ground oats. For a playful look, shape little windows with a spoon so they resemble tiny boats.
Substitutions
You can use cooked chicken instead of turkey. Chives can be replaced with finely chopped parsley. If you do not have mozzarella, use another mild melting cheese.
