tried this for passover, as I am gluten free and wanted something for everyone. I liked it, my hubby hated it and the others thought it was good, but not great, I think next time I'll add some more lemon peel and perhaps a bit more juice to pepp it up a bit. Perhaps whipping an egg white, and adding a bit of Ammaretto would be good too. also I used a whizzer to blend the potatoes, I think that was a mistake, as it probably made the spuds a bit gooey, where as a ricer would have left them fluffier. Wasn't quite like cheesecake for me, but I did enjoy it.
