Notes

  • Storage: Leftover Dino Buddies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked Dino Buddies for up to a month. Just ensure they’re wrapped well to avoid freezer burn.
  • Pairing: Try adding a side salad with your meal to balance the flavors and textures.
  • Spice it Up: Consider adding some shredded cheese on top of your mashed potatoes before the gravy for extra flavor.
  • Fun Shapes: Instead of a volcano, try molding the mashed potatoes into different fun shapes for variety!
