The potato balls were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably use less salt next time.

These potato balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or milk to the potato mixture next time.

These potato balls were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I would try baking them instead of frying them next time.
