Really nice. Especially if you add a bit of chili powder. Serve with peas and it makes a nice light meal.

I'd made potato skins the night before & used the leftover potatoes to make these patties. I added a bit of melted butter & a bit of milk to the recipe to make more of a mashed potato consistency. Added leftover bacon bits. After golden brown in pan, popped on a cookie sheet in a 350°F oven while finishing dinner! Pow! These were amazing. Added a dollop of sour cream on top, just a tad. Guess what, had these cooled a few hours later & they were even better. Just fantastic recipe. Thank you for posting.
