My mother used to make these when I was a child, and it was nice to make up a batch of them for my own kids. This is a really good recipe, a bit fiddly (the grating is the worst bit - I did it by hand grater), but well worth the end result. We had ours with dipping sauces - delicious! Thank you for sharing a tasty recipe James!

I have to give this a 5 star! So tasty! A little bit of work but well worth it. I must say I did add a little more salt and pepper at the end. YuMM!! Thanks for a great recipe James ; )
