Mashed Potato Cakes

1/27/2020

These are so easy to make - especially if you already have leftover potatoes. They taste like a loaded baked potato but better as the panko gives them extra crunch on top. You could lighten these up by using chicken stock instead of butter and milk, but I wouldn't skip the bacon. Little bits running through these potatoes makes them pop. You can assemble these and freeze. Then when you're ready for a quick side dish you can bake them frozen.

I loved this dish and it was supper easy to make. I loved to cut up all of the ingredients it was very easy. When I first took a bite all of the flavors of the bacon and the chives rushed through my mouth and the cheese added a great taste as well.

I really liked this dish. Although it is meant to be a side dish, it seems like it could be a main course in my opinion. I found the bacon to be a nice addition in the cakes, and I normally don't like bacon.

Although the mashed potato cakes were fun to make and looked delicious they were not my favorite. My favorite part of making the mashed potato cakes was mashing the potatoes. The reason I did not like the mashed potatoes that much was because they needed more flavor to the inside part.

I liked this dish but the after taste made my mouth dry but i still eat it because i didn't want to waste food. When me and my team were making it was really fun!!, we got to share everything not just person doing the job themselves. Thank you for letting us cook the potato it were good.

I thought the mashed potato cakes were okay, but they were a little bland. I think that we should have added more cheese (preferably some cheddar) to make it taste better. Although it wasn't my favorite, it was still fun making it, especially when we mashed the potatoes.

This is a very good choice for a side dish. I really liked making this dish and working with my team. This dish would be a very good side because it would provide a light but good taste that still compliments the main dish. This dish was very good and tasteful, and I enjoyed the bread crumbs and how they complimented the dish.

This dish was not my favorite ,but I kind of liked it. It was a different experience putting a potato in oven and shaping it in a tiny cake formation. This was fun to make and sort of difficult to finish, my kitchen partners all helped with everything.

I really liked this dish. I loved how it was crunchy on the outside and mushy on the inside. Everyone worked hard in my group and the mashed potatoe cakes were a success. Although I liked it, if I did this dish again I would add more bacon because I couldn't taste any.

When we made mashed potatoes cakes it was a really fun experience and I really liked making it. When we were done making it and ate it, it was pretty good but not my favorite. I did not like it that much because it was kind of bland and did not have a lot of flavor.

I loved how the crispy texture of the top and bottom complimented the soft inside. I also like how easy it is to make and that it could be made by most people. I did wish that it had a little more vegetables in it, but overall I enjoyed it and I would make it again.

I loved making this dish I never use a small little dagger too cut potato cake.I would never expect to put bread crumbs on the potato cake and that gave it its nice crunch when you first bite into it.the taste though it was alright it was bland at starters but the more you keep eating it the more you get used too the taste but still taste.

Jack

I think that this dish was kind of bland and It was not one of my favorite dishes.What i would do differently is put more flavor into the dish. If we had hot sauce I fell the dish would taste better.

This dish was really good.I thought It tasted a little to much like butter and was not that flavorful .Everything other than that I thought the dish was delicious.It was extremely fun to make a dish that I enjoyed.

Felix

The Potato cakes weren't bad, just a bit bland. However, making the potato cakes was fun, the cutting, mashing and even cleaning was fun. I think it would have been better with more cheese, pepper and salt.

Allen

This dish was surprising! Usually I do not like potato dishes that are not french fries but I enjoyed this! At first the taste was a bit crunchy on the outside but when you really went into it you get the nice war potato with the crispy bacon and cooked chives, this dish is something I would definitely try to make at home because it is easy to make and something really light and tasty to eat.

Frankie

1/27/2020 01:26:33 pm

I like this dish, it has a very good taste to it!! If I were to put one ingredient to it is more bacon. Overall it is really good and its a good dish I have never tried before!

Nick

I love this dish because it has flavor, the potato was baked so good, the bacon was good with the potato, it was really light and easy to chew

Alexnder

In my opinion the mashed potato cakes were OK. The reason i say that is because they did not have that much flavor. But something I like about them is how the crispy and nice they looked when they came out of the oven.

I love this dish I didn't know you could make mashed potatoes out of chicken stock. The scallions were great take out for the chives, and I'd really like it a lot cause theirs lots of flavors and the scallion was like out of no where. And the last thing it's really interesting as a cake, but it was good.

Jacob

The dish needed more flavor. But over all it was alright. It was really fun making this Because i have never tried this dish before so it was a very fun experience.

It was good but could have been more flavorful but it was good. It kind of tasted a bit like egg puff.I did like it though so it was fine.

Lisa

I really enjoy making this potato side dish. My kids love it - probably because the potatoes on the outside are super crunchy. I love that I can make this ahead of time and freeze it so it's ready in a flash!

George

I liked this dish a lot.I think it is really easy and fun to make i just think it can use more bacon.I enjoyed the experience of making this dish and had a fun time in the kitchen.

Stacie

I wasn't crazy about the mashed potato cakes. But it was a fun journey making these potato cakes. It didn't taste that good because it could use a little more salt and pepper.

Peter

1/27/2020 02:22:00 pm

I really enjoyed the potato cakes. This dish was delicious because theirs bacon and cheese in it. If I were to make this dish again I would probably add more bacon and some more salt.

Avianna

Juan

Overall, I really liked making this dish, although it needed more salt. I would like it with more bacon. And I would make it again. It was fun making this food.

Jaynisha

1/27/2020 02:22:28 pm

Overall, I really enjoyed this dish. What I would do different is add more seasoning, because it was a little bland. My experience making the mashed potato cakes was good; my favorite part was getting to mash the potatoes.

Landon

This was a fun dish to make and it was pretty decent. My kitchen and I had a lot of fun making this dish. It was my first ever cooking experience. Although I was nervous at first I started getting the hang of it and at the end of the day it was a good experience.

Fernando

1/27/2020 02:23:37 pm

I enjoyed eating the mashed potato cakes, but it can use a little more bacon. I wasn't a big fan of the parsley though. I liked the process of cooking food because I had never made mashed potato cakes before.

This dish is one of the many dishes I won't forget because it was just that amazing. When I was in the kitchen making the potato cakes it was so satisfying to finish. When I first tasted it I felt my problems melt away

The potato cake was okay I wish the outside was a little bit more crunchy and the inside should of had more flavor. Making the potato was also just okay. It was overall fun though.

Natalie

I enjoyed this dish. I enjoyed this dish because it was very fun to make with the whole kitchen. If i would make this dish again i would put a little pepper.

They weren't the best but also weren't bad. I would probably would wait for the potatoes to boil more and mixing everything longer and not rushing it. I would most likely make it and know what to do to make it better.

Daniela H

1/27/2020 02:27:28 pm

I enjoyed making this dish this week because I did things that I've never done before like cutting potatoes. I did not like the taste because the potatoes were watery and it could have used more salt. I wouldn't make this dish again because grating the cheese is hard.

Daniela

1/27/2020 02:27:44 pm

I really enjoyed making the mashed potato cakes. I learned a lot of new skills making them. I learned how to use sharp knives, peel potatoes, and use a skinny cheese grater and the mashed potato cakes came out really good for my group.

Marcial

1/27/2020 02:28:40 pm

I really like the mashed potato cake because it was easy to make. Also I really like to cut the ingredients like the bacon and the chives. Last thing, I mostly like the bacon on the mashed potato cake not the chives.

Tristan

1/27/2020 02:29:33 pm

The cooking experience for this dish was very fun! I got to use new kitchen tools like a skinny cheese grader. When I taste tested the potato cakes on Thursday it tasted amazing.

Elisabet Silberman

1/27/2020 02:29:53 pm

I really enjoyed making mashed potato cake it was fun, exciting, and worth making. It tasted crunchy and hard on the outside, and hot and mushy in the inside. I learned how to use a cheese grater, sharp knives, and hot pots.

Elizabeth

1/27/2020 02:29:59 pm

Even though this dish was really fun to make I didn´t really like it in my personal opinion. My absolute favorite part of making this dish was spreading the bread crumbs and using the mold to make it look like a cake. The reason why I didn´t really the mashed potato cake was probably because of the bacon inside of the dish.

Janaya

1/27/2020 02:29:59 pm

I really loved making the mash potato cake dish it was fun to make and the appearance of it looked really good. I loved cooking this dish because I never made it and I have never used some things we used like a potato masher. In my opinion that cakes were pretty good but not my first choice because they tasted kinda dry but the thing I liked about it was the bacon bits in it and the crunchy outside of the cake.

Olivia

1/27/2020 02:34:42 pm

I like this dish. It was very easy and fun to make I wasn't here to try the dish but I heard a lot of good things about it. I tried the mash potatoes they had a lot of flavor. The experience of making it was fun and I liked that I was able to use thing that I haven't used before.

Aubrie

1/27/2020 02:35:46 pm

I really enjoyed making this recipe and it taste really good. Especially when we added the bread crumbs and other ingredients. My favorite part was when we mashed the potatoes. I would definitely make this at home again.
