I was greatly influenced by my mother, who pursued her passion by attending culinary school. She taught me many valuable tips and tricks about food art, including how to create fancy mashed potatoes that look as good as they taste.
The finished product should resemble a Hedgehog, in German it is called an Igel.
Goes great with Bavarian Pork Roast. Click on picture for recipe
