  • Add sambal oelek, a teaspoon at a time, tasting after each addition.

  • MORPH: The morph on this is a simple dish called baked egg mashed potatoes.
  • All you do is place leftover mashed potatoes in a shallow baking dish.
  • Make wells, crack eggs into the wells, cover with a thin layer of cheese and bake until the eggs are set.
