I tried this, but I didn't find them to be firm enough and the cheese leaked out. I liked them, but they didn't turn out how the picture implies

We really enjoyed these! I only had mozzarella cheese and no green onion, so I added sour cream, garlic, onion, and chilli powder for a little kick. There was lots of flavor. Will be making again.

I liked the ease of this recipe but found the potatoes a little bland. Next time I would add some garlic and maybe a little Parmesan cheese to the potatoes.
