These were a waste of time and ingredients. They didn't taste good and they were a pain to make.

These Joe Froggers were okay, but I've had better. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too mushy.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The mashed potatoes were too dry and the cheese didn't melt properly. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These were really good! I made them for my kids and they loved them. They're a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.
