I cut back on the parsley, as I'm not a fan, I also added 1 cup cheddar cheese into the potatoes. My oldest son and finace couldn't get enough of them. I thought they were good for "something different" but will leave the parsley out altogether next time. I fried mine in a non-stick skillet with about 1/4" of oil and then baked them - great thing is it took the rest of my meal another hour and these weren't dry or overdone! Thanks for the great idea, I will make these again!

These are good, fairly quick to make and use simple ingredients so it is a great weeknight side dish. Squeeze the shredded potatoes in a tea towel to extract as much water out of them as you can so they hold together better and splatter less when cooking.

I thought there was way too much pepper. I would use only 1/4 t next time. The parsley was fine, but I did add the cheddar cheese and it was good!
