My whole family loved these - easy to make (though a little time-consuming with all the grating), and very yummy. We served them with a little sour cream. Delightful! Thanks for the recipe!

This was a big hit, and so easy! Since I'm on WW, I had a 1/6 pie wedge, with 1/3 pie wedge saved for DH's breakfast. Why limit yourself to wedges? Use cookie cutters to make more unusual shapes. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Trinkets! Made for April 2009 Veg*n Swap.
