I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes turned out mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish was bland and lacked flavor. I would not recommend it.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was good. I would probably use less ham next time.
