BDCThug –
Very tasty and filling. Needs some kind of dipping sauce with it. Maybe sour cream or yogurt based? I’ll get it again to experiment.
Dan the man –
Saw the bots hating on this one and figured it couldn’t possibly be true, so I bought them to set the record straight. Unfortunately, I think the bots were kinda cookin on this one. The picture on the package is a total scam, they give you barely any filling, and the filling is nasty as hell! It tastes unnatural, like garlic from outer space that spent a little too long rotting inside of Ron DeSantis’ elf shoes. I guess the mashed potato texture is alright given that it’s supposed to hold the thing together but the potatoes themselves have barely any flavor and it’s just too damn much!! The only thing slightly divine about these is the crispy outer shell. Oh yeah, and they take 30 minutes to cook in the oven??? Skip it!!!
