blockquoteHave made it twice, second time with only 1/2 cup mashed potato and 1 egg. husband still prefers my version which is just grated potato, squeezed of excess juice and 1 egg. Crunchier version but I love them both. Judydawn

blockquoteI love this recipe and it is good for any meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner!! They are even better if topped after cooking with a spoonful of apple sause or sour cream.

blockquoteWhat a great idea to combine mashed potatoes with grated potatoes. I used to make these using a hand grater to grate the potatoes, but a food processor or industrial blender makes grating the potatoes so much easier.
