You can't mess these up - and you can add things like ham to the inside or switch the cheese to something like fontina which works well too. These always seem to go over really well, but i must say the pesto is key - don't skip that part!

It was just ok for me. My hubby liked it though. I think I will just stick to making potato pancakes and top with mozzarella and pesto for him.

My husband and I just loved these! It is just the two of us, so I used two potatoes, which made one decent size cake for both of us. Also, I had a packet of Knorr pesto sauce in my pantry, so I just used that. I did use fresh mozzarella for the middle of the cake, but I used the mozzarella in a bag for the top. This is one of those recipes you could make every week and never get tired of it!

My husband and I enjoyed this bread, but I agree with a previous post that is was a little bland. The pesto did spice it up a lot. Next time I am going to add some fresh herbs and incorporate shredded mozzeralla cheese instead of the chunks.

This recipe is VERY easy! I did make slight changes to the ingrediants 9no pesto. I added 1/2 cup green onions chopped finely and 1/2 lime (squeezed over potato mixture. I then followed the rest of the recipe and served with shredded mozzarella cheese and chives on top. It was a BIG HIT! The left overs the next morning we reheated in the microwave and placed a poach egg (cooked in rice vinegar, water and garlic powder. BOY THAT WAS GOOD TOO!
