this is a good way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I didn't include extra cheese because there was already some in the potatoes so you can play with the ingredients you have on hand and they still come out well. My one suggestion is to add a little more pepper, though. For the sauce I used some horseradish and cumin. It's a nice addition to the dish.
