- Feel free to add more garlic to the mash if you love a stronger garlic flavor.
- For an extra crispy topping, you can sprinkle a layer of grated cheese over the mashed potatoes before baking.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can substitute the chicken with chickpeas or a mix of hearty vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant.
