Note
You can substitute the scallops with an equal amount of white fish if desired.
If using larger scallops, you may need slightly more than 8, or fewer if using smaller ones.
Ensure the mashed potatoes are fresh and smooth for the best texture and appearance.
Keep an eye on the baking time to prevent the potatoes from burning; they should be golden and slightly crisp.
