1. Dice 450g of the potatoes into large chunks.  Place into a saucepan, cover with cold water.  Bring to the boil then cook for 15-20 mins until soft.  Mash.
2. Grate the remaining potato.  Combine the grated potato and onion in a clean tea towel and squeeze out any excess liquid.
3. In a large bowl combine mashed potato, grated potato and onion, Yumi’s Potato with Spring Onion dip and breadcrumbs.  Season with salt and white pepper and mix well.
