This potato cake was a little bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more milk or sour cream.

This potato cake was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less butter.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potato cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This potato cake was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some additional seasonings.

I love potato cakes and this one is one of the best I've ever had. The combination of potatoes, cheese, and onions is perfect.

This recipe was easy to follow and the potato cake turned out great. I used a cast iron skillet and it gave the cake a nice crispy crust.
