Loved these! Don't know why others thought they were dry, although I guess I didn't really measure the cheese and just kind of grated into the bowl until it looked like there was enough :) They're a beautiful compliment to the potato soup I made! Thanks for posting!

These were fine, but a little too chewy for my taste. I guess I was looking for something lighter? I did find the ones without cheese sprinkled on top rose a little higher and were less greasy than the ones I topped with cheese.

I honestly though these were abit dry, but the kids scarfed them down, which is all that matters as a mom to picky kids!!!
