Some of you may know that occasionally in my family we have a bit of a competition who can rip off / copy a product most accurately.
At the moment, prompted by the bulk purchase of some family sized Holland's Meat and Potato pies were trying to copy their Meat and Potato.
It's obviously quite a slack filling that I'm struggling to reproduce. It seems to be well cooked and stirred as the potato prices are well worn, like pebbles on a beach. The potato I've been using just isn't right, mine either turn completely to mush or stays to much in shape.
The true version seems quite a white potato and most I've tried are too yellow. It seems I want a spud that is floury yet sticks together yet breaks down yet is white
*I've asked Holland's and they just don't reply.
** The aim of the game isn't to produce the best pie, nor a better pie, it's the most similar pie.
