I used some leftovers from recipe #66442#66442 to make this with. I subbed cheddar for the mozzarella,but otherwise folllowed the instructions pretty much to the letter. My mix was a teeny bit wet,but my mash did have cream cheese and milk in it before hand,so it was to be expected.They did hold together very well though..I just was very careful while frying them to ensure that they didn't break up. They went down a storm,beautifully crisp and crunchy on the outside and so soft and cheesy in the centre. We loved them,and as they were no trouble to prepare will certainly be cooking extra mash potato in the future,as an excuse to make them! Thanks gailanng..this was a winner! Made for PRMR.

These were so good! I made them with fork-mashed potatoes as gailann suggested. I rehydrated some onion flakes instead of the onion powder (I know, I know, I was lazy..). Somehow, coating these in breadcrumbs elevates the plain old potato cake to new levels. I fried them in a veg & olive oil mix and made assorted thicknesses to see what we liked best. They all tasted good, but we preferred the ones we made thin. They were reminiscent of a potato pancake+. A definite make again! Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag, Nov '09.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
