Made this last night and it is very blan,took the advice and cut back on the salt but that didn't help at all.I would use real potatoes instead if potato flakes!It takes to much moisture to rehydrate the flakes and turned out like mush! If you do use real potatoes you will have to cut back on the tomato sauce,water,sour cream!You will know when there is a enough moisture by the texture,it should be stiff.

This was tasty and so easy to prepare!! I must have done something wrong though, because this turned out way to salty for us! Was my first time using dried mashed potato flakes - and might be the kind that I bought that had too much salt in it. Enjoyed the dish, though would add no salt next time and maybe use fresh mashed potatoes!! Thanks! :)

We've made this for years. My kids now grown still love it. If I may. To avoid a bland taste try browning the burger with the onion. Also I use flavored diced tomatoes your choice such as diced Mexican or diced italian. Season the potatoes and sour cream mixture. I use ready to eat potatoes such as Bob Evans. Less work and the perfect consistency. Good luck!
