    Mentions potato carving and filling, but no discription of how to prep. Is this raw or cooked potato?

    I’ll give this recipe the benefit of the doubt because I did have to veganize it, and I did change a couple ingredients. I used onion powder instead of onion, cayenne for the chili powder, and tomato paste instead of puree. I also chopped the potatoes instead, like a previous reviewer mentioned. The flavor was delicious, and I’ll definitely make it again, but I’ll have to adjust the spice. WAY too spicy, and my husband and I love spicy food.
