These were a waste of time. They were soggy and flavorless.

I've tried several recipes for crispy mashed potato cakes, but this one is by far the best. The cakes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they have a wonderful flavor.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but mine turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less flour next time.

Not a fan. The cakes were bland and the texture was mushy.
