These potatoes were delicious! I made them for my family and they loved them. The two-tone effect was really pretty and it made the potatoes look special.

These potatoes were easy to make and they looked beautiful, but they were a bit dry. I think I will try adding some milk or butter to the mashed potatoes next time.

I've made these potatoes several times and they always turn out great. I like to add a bit of garlic powder and paprika to the mashed potatoes for extra flavor.

These potatoes were a bit bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't have much flavor. I think I will try adding some herbs or spices next time.
