Food safety

Caution: low

Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in shallow covered containers, keep at 4°C or colder, and reheat to 74°C before serving.

Risk factors

  • Cooked potatoes and lentils can support bacterial growth if held at room temperature for too long.
  • The dense filling retains heat and can cause burns immediately after baking.
