My sister, cousin and I found this recipe and thought it sounded so intriguing we'd make it for a lark just to see how it came out...we had all the ingredients...even cooked fresh potatoes and mashed them...the only thing that was substituted was pecans instead of walnuts because that's what we had. We were tempted to add or change things but decided to stick with the recipe exactly and in the end we are glad we did because it came out absolutely splendid! Moist and just the right spicy..not too much or too little. We brought it a St Patrick's Day Party last night and it was a hit...everyone loved it!!! It's definitely going to be made again! And it's easy!

Made this for the Saint Patrick's Day party I went to last night. It was delicious! People are very surprised when you tell them it's made with two cups of mashed potatoes! (By the way, I used instant mashed potatoes and it came out great.) Terrific recipe; thanks!

This wasn't too difficult to make, and the cake turned out just as it was supposed to, but I did not enjoy the flavor like I thought I would. Maybe it was the spices used but it did not taste how I expected it to. Like I said, it looked just like the picture and came out to a perfect texture, but it just didn't taste good :(

I made this for my daughter's 2nd grade class for Multi-Cultural Day and it was devoured! Thankfully, I had brought along this amazing recipe so I had it when I was bombarded by the other parents!! Now, I'm pressed by my neighbors to make it! A very moist and delicious cake! And very easy to make!

I made this for St. Patty's Day and everyone at work LOVED it! It's a dense, rich almost bread-like cake. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! (I just added a milk & confectioners sugar glaze with green food coloring to be festive!)

Superb texture and flavor!! I only had 1 cup of mashed potatoes, so I cut the recipe in half and made 13 muffins. (Hint: to prevent muffins from sticking to paper liners, spray the liners with Pam.) They were perfectly done in 30 minutes. They smelled so good, I couldn't wait to try one. Tasted delicious warm. Great use for leftover mashed potatoes. I'm sure I'll be making these again. Thanks for the recipe!

I have never had potato bread/cake before, and was curious. This was absolutely delicious! I love it, and am eating a piece right now. This is a recipe I will keep in my cookbook.

Made this for St Patricks Day and everyone who came to supper liked it. The recipe was so easy my 4 year old helped make it. The only change I made was to cut the cloves down to 1 teaspoon per other reviewers suggestions. This recipe will definitely become a St Patricks Day tradition in our house.
