Cheese, ham, and more are added to potato shredded. Delicious and fantastic! I won this invention during an Iron Chef culinary competition I participated in with my family.

Reviews
OK well I agree that it probably should be butter butter or shortening question is a matter of taste it’s a matter of do you want to taste the butter or do you want to taste all the other ingredient. Shortening lends little to no flavor all it does Is acts like an oil if you don’t like shortening use a different oil or butter if you really wanted to you could use lard it’s all about what the person making it likes I have read a couple.of this reviews and think the reviewer laid all the blame on the author well a big chunk is on them as they know their own likes and dislikes you should be able to read a recipe and make changes according to your own tastes own your own failures.
i think it needs butter insted of shortening
This was a quick and simple recipe for a dessert when you’re in a pinch. The only difference is that instead of the walnuts I added chocolate chips. Yum!
Simple to make in my tiny kitchen. Subbed butter for shortening and pecans for walnuts. Baked 30 minutes. Delicious
So good!
Too sweet, greasy.Less butter and brown sugar and I will make these again.
Next time I’m going to put less sugar because they were extremely sugary
If I make this again (I probably will!) I think I’m going to use coconut oil or butter (maybe a combination of both) in lieu of shortening, mostly because I think shortening is gross. I made a single batch, mixed in some vegan protein powder and some raw slivered almonds, and put that in the bottom of my pan, and then I put another single batch (with more protein powder mixed in) over that. It took an extra 15-20 minutes for me to bake it, but that’s probably because of the poor heat distribution of my oven. 8/10 would make again, because this recipe covers up the nasty taste of my protein powder 🙂
it tastes amazing
It was a little too buttery for me but other than that I liked it
Overall it tasted delicious! I put chocolate chips in the batter. I will recommend this to a friend and make it again sometime soon! Thank you Camellia Jeffery!
I made this exactly as directed using an 8” square pan, baked for 22 minutes. It was perfect, moist and delicious.
I think it was delish it is very easy to make when you don’t have enough time to make something huge. But didn’t add the chopped walnuts in it though it was still good. Also I used chocolate chips instead of walnuts. I might use this again.
tastes weird, an awful sugar taste.
Nasty. I can’t believe people can rate it this many stars and then substitute butter for the shortening. I will be shocked if my 6 year olds will even eat it, because I cannot.
i agree with saralee except for one thing. i will not be trying them again.
Absolutly amasing! I have very little baking experience and it was incredably simple and they turned out great. I did however read a comment that said that you should use 1/3 less brown sugar which I disagree with; I think the sweetness is perfect just the way it is!
I really liked this recipe but changed a couple things after reading the reviews. I also used butter instead of shortening and doubled the recipe for a nice thickness. They were a little too buttery so I think next time I will cut down the amount of butter I use from 1 cup to 3/4 cup. I softened the butter and blended it with the milk instead of melting it in a pan. Also next time I plan to add the vanilla in when I put in the eggs instead of waiting until the end when the dough is too sticky and hard to mix in. I also used chocolate chips instead of nuts but I think either would be good. I will definitely make this again, they were delicious and very easy to make with ingredients you happen to have on hand.
tasted great but soupy with 4 eggs and a stick of butter, but 2 eggs and a half a stick of butter makes for a better batch. both times they tasted great and i only sprinkled white sugar in it both times also.
I did use butter instead of shortening per other reviewers suggestions, and I thought these were really good! Other than the butter, I followed the recipe. It took a little longer to bake than I thought but that may have just been my pan or something. Next time I think I will add butterscotch chips to them 🙂
very sweet but so good! i’m not a big chocolate person but i LOVE all brownies, these were a great change and super fast and easy!
