My Variations:
- While grating potatoes, I prefer grating half of them with the bigger holes and the rest with smaller. That actually gives more density and binding to your basket.


Tips & Tricks:
- Ensure that the filling does not have too mmuch moisture in it else it will make the basket all soggy.
- You can make various different filling for the basket ranging from cheese, lentils, beans, etc. Potato Basket go with anything and everything.
