Reviews
I think is amazing an a great choice for kids.
I loved this recipe!! It was perfect for our leftover thanksgiving mashed potatoes. My husband could not get enough of it. I don’t know why it’s rated “intermediate” because it was very simple. Since I don’t have a deep fryer, I couldn’t make rounded balls, but small silver dollar patties were just as good. I also added a little cheddar cheese. Yummy!
