    1. This is absolutely fantastic. The only change I made was to use naan bread instead of hotdog buns. I cooked the beets and potatoes together beforehand and added the peas during the last few minutes. They can all be mashed together. I left it to cool while I went out for the naan bread and we fried them when we came back. I was so not sure of the ketchup, but it totally works. Keeper recipe. Thanks so much for making this available, Tina!
