Agree. I have made the little mashed potato patties a few times. Even if I
try to doctor them up, they are just as boring as when my mom made them.
Fine, I suppose if I am broke and have no other food in the house but
otherwise, no. Thankfully, I wised up and realized that I am the only
mashed potato lover in the house and to make less than I think we will eat.
That's always the right amount.
