It was like a cross between a tuna melt and a shepherd's pie. I followed all of the instructions exactly, except I didn't have fresh parsley so I doubled up with dried. People in the original post were saying the potatoes would be too dry but I think t reasoning for that is so that they soak up the liquid in the tomatoes and mixture underneath, because it definitely wasn't dry out of the oven.
I'd definitely make it again, but geuge it up with a little dill and chives (maybe in the potatoes?), and use grated cheddar on top.

Honestly, its objectively gross.
But my Midwestern ass wants to eat it and I know I’d love it.
I’d like to try minus the tomato lol
Nice work trying something weird from days of yore! That one scared me too much, but the ad was fabulously 50s/60s
I have to say, I think I’d love this. I love your idea of adding fresh dill and chives.
I bet flavored instant mashed taters would be a great addition… Like Four Cheese, or Sour Cream & Chives or Roasted Garlic… Yum 😋
This looks so disgustingly delicious. I hate it, but I also want it.
I like your style.
It looks good, actually!
Except for the tomatoes, it didn’t seem that bad
I wish the original post was linked so I could look at the recipe
When you use dried herbs instead of fresh, you’re supposed to use 1/3 as much
I love that you did this!
I would normally try this but since being on zepbound, I can’t even look at tuna
Thanks for the report! The original post peeked my interest and I enjoy both tuna melts and shepard’s pie… I’d probably do the same upgrades too. Side note: the inner leaves of celery are a good sub for fresh parsley.
I know it’s easy to diss old school recipes and cooking methods but that looks seriously delicious. What a win 😋 I was hoping someone would make it because the Sunkist ad intrigued me, so thank you 😁
Take my poor man’s gold 🪙
I’m 100% making this, but with my jarred salmon I process lime always looking for ways to use it, this looks PERFECT
I have never seen this b4. I’m going to try it
