In talking with a well schooled woman of the culinary arts the results for this recipe are based on the cooks leftover mashed potatoes.  Some women make them way to runny or rather they have too much liquid, while others make them dry.  Rather than expressing disappointment in the recipe the best thing would be for the person making this dish to look at their ingredients.  I followed the recipe to the letter and not problems.  I even added onions to the mashed potatoes.  Less eggs for watery mash ans more eggs for dry mash.  They fry up very nicely and DO NOT fall apart.  I stuffed mine with sausage.  Great recipe
