    A great way to use leave-overs. I usually add either corn or peas, depending on what's 'leftover'. Always a hit in my home

    It was really good, but mine ended up really crispy and dense, so the next batch I made I added a little bit of milk, and I like it better because the milk made it a lot lighter

    I remember my mom making these. The only thing I did different. Was use seasoned salt. Everyone enjoyed them. I will definitely make them again. Yum
