The ingredients section does not mention Ketchup, paprika or the oven temperature. Then the potato layer calls for crushed garlic in the ingredients section but whole garlic in the preparation section.

Sloppily written recipe (example: recipe calls for 3 whole garlic For the potato layer but in the ingredient list it says crushed garlic). Does anyone copy edit or even test these?
