I have not tried this recipe. My best friend was telling me about these last night. She said they are really good and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. She said these taste great with mix in's such as onion soup mix and the cheese as posted. She does her's a bit different though she mixes the egg into her potatoes. Then the rest is the same. Thanks for posting. I do plan to try these the next time we have leftover mashed potatoes. Christine (internetnut)

These are great. I used those crispy french fried onion things instead of cornflakes and it was great. It's a good appetizer or just a nice change from the regular sides. Thanks for the idea. My hubby will make sure I make these again.
