These were a disaster! The filling was too runny and the potatoes were mushy. I will not be making these again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes fell apart when I was trying to fry them. I think I might have overcooked them.

These were just okay. I think I would have liked them better if the filling had more flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. The filling was a little bland and the potatoes were a bit dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out great. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more salt to the filling.

Absolutely delicious! The flavors and textures were amazing. I loved the combination of the creamy potato filling and the crispy outer shell. Will definitely be making this again.
