Notes

Starchy potatoes like Russets or Waxy or all-purpose potatoes are the best varieties for boiling.
It's recommended that you boil potatoes with the skin on. This keeps the nutrients inside the potato during the cooking process.
Can use both stove-top and microwave method to boil potatoes.
Microwave method - In a microwave safe bowl, add water and potatoes. Microwave it for 13-15 minutes.
In a pressure cooker, add water and potatoes. Cook it on a stove-top for 3-4 whistles.
Adding salt while boiling is again personal preference.
Potatoes will cook more quickly if you cut them up into chunks before boiling.
Peel the skin once its cooled down.
Be careful to not overcook the potatoes or you’ll end up with a soggy mess and little flavor.
Potatoes are done when you can slide the tip of a knife or fork all the way through without resistance.
It’s important to drain the potatoes immediately after cooking. I have used russet potatoes for this recipe.
Cook the potatoes till they are soft. Then grate or mash them with a masher.
Feel free to add the seasonings of your choice.
Keep it mildly spiced if making it for children.
You can use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs.
If the stuffing is a bit dry, add few tablespoons of milk.
Green chutney can be substituted with pesto.
Add sliced veggies like onions, bell peppers or even avocado before adding the cheese slice to make it more hearty and flavorful.
If you don't have a Panini Maker, you can make this on the stove-top as well.
You can prepare this stuffing in advance and store in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze this stuffing.
