This didn't work for me, there isn't enough information in this recipe to have an easy success. If you try it be sure to do something different than what I did. Mine was very doughy and wet everywhere inside after 50 mins baking. The taste around the very edge left me wanting more but I couldn't eat it. I think it would have burned badly before it cooked all the way through. It was a mess. I used small red potatoes (because I had them) I boiled them, drained them and left the peals on when I mashed them. This may have been my problem, I may try again with large brown potatoes. I also used white whole wheat flour, 2% milk and canola oil if that helps. Try something different than what I did if you try this recipe, I had to toss mine out :( I tried to save it by slicing it and then baking the slices but they still started to burn before the insides cooked. Any ideas?
