Made for NYE.
The flavor was good, but they didn't stay - they became flat disc's that didn't look appetizing. I will re make again.

This is a great recipe for leftover mashed potatoes. I have now made these twice using my Kitchen Aid to do the mixing. I have kept them in the shape of a meatball. Any leftovers I have frozen on a plate then placed in a bag in the freezer for future use. This recipe is great reheated plus after being frozen. I did decrease the amount of cheese, personal preference. Otherwise I followed the recipe as posted. This recipe looks like you have gone to a lot of work. I recommend adding the "frig cold potatoes" to the mixer last. As the potatoes are easier to handle when cold. Great recipe Pine506. I will be making this often!!!!!!
