Inspector's notes
Cooked mashed potatoes found in hot holding wells with internal temperature of 116*F-118*F. PIC stated the mashed potatoes had just been prepared about 30 minutes ago and reheated them to 165*F or above before placing them back in the hot holding well. The hot holding well was found to be turned off which was likely the reason the hot well was not keeping the potatoes hot. PIC will continue to monitor the hot well to make sure it is able to maintain the potatoes at 135*F or higher. Please ensure hot held TCS food items are maintained at 135*F or above. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
