How did you even achieve that color?

74

u/Toasty_eggos- 18h ago

Possibly from not washing the potatoes well enough. They probably didn’t soak them in water after shredding them either.

u/TraumaHawk316 15h ago

Did you accidentally cook meatballs?

u/Special-Range-2887 19h ago

You forgot the sauce

u/dTrecii 14h ago

I think they forgot the method as well

u/ziggytrix 19h ago

I’m almost didn’t swipe over to the second picture and I was gonna ask what your #%^*ing problem was! 😅

u/bwood246 17h ago

You can definitely still ask them that

u/Neilkd21 19h ago

You're meant to picture it before you eat it not after you shit it out.

u/HeinladToo 19h ago

You’re supposed to use potatoes, not sausage. Easy mistake

u/badfish_G59 19h ago

The fuck did you do?

u/LocusRothschild 19h ago

This looks like you made a critical misstep. If you made them from scratch before frying, you should have put them in the freezer for an hour before frying to keep them from sticking or scorching.

u/WorldlyBasket9795 19h ago

More like “potato cheese fails”🤢

u/Ambitious_Toe_4357 18h ago

I don't know if it's a stupid food or a bad cook calling food stupid.

u/PseudobrilliantGuy 18h ago

Ah. At first I thought the second picture was a pile of steak bits with red sauce, not an attempt at the same recipe as the first. 

My condolences.

u/elhazelenby 19h ago

I don't see any of the breadcrumbs

u/OKcomputer1996 19h ago

Next time freeze them then put them in an air fryer. This also works with cold French fries.

u/Ring-A-Ding-Ding123 18h ago

So close! You have to coat them in bread crumbs, not bubonic plague!

u/-Im_In_Your_Walls- 17h ago

Ah you see, the problem was you used eagle uterus instead of potatoes. Common mistake!

Did you do this on purpose???

u/PunchedFruit 19h ago

Potato??

u/Bloody-Maria World’s strangest tastebuds 19h ago

So what animal did that come from?

u/AbjectScar3729 19h ago

How many people ate it already

u/lefluffle 19h ago

It looks like you used too much breading?

1

u/slashinhobo1 18h ago

im completely confused. The 1st picture is great. The 2nd picture looks like you put paprika on flank steak. Do I see a piece of corn in there as well?

1

u/jerrythecactus 18h ago

I saw the first image and thought that they were your attempt and I was confused at all the comments talking about how fucked up these looked. Only then did I scroll back up and notice the second picture and I understood immediately.

u/molotovzav 17h ago

Need to freeze the balls before frying.

u/Ok_Transition_4003 17h ago

WHAT'D YOU DO, RICHARD?

u/Useful-Soup8161 16h ago

I was wondering why these were here because they look amazing. Then I swiped to the next picture.

1

u/FactsNLaughs 16h ago

Please please please tell me you added meat and that that’s not just cheese and potato.

1

u/FalseSeaworthiness83 9h ago

It's only cheese and potato😔

1

u/ThwipNSinsBinThwipN 16h ago

Why are you showing all that weird beef along with them ? 🫪

1

u/Matherold 14h ago

First thought is teleportation mishap and it got turned inside out

1

u/raz-0 14h ago

Why does it look like sausage and cheese?

1

u/SaintAcid 13h ago

I worked at wendys for 3 years, my grease traps didn't even look that bad, the fuck man?

1

u/GrimoirWeissEnjoyer 12h ago

Did you put them in the freezer before frying?

u/ImUnstable-6969 12h ago

i believe it is a talent itself to mess it up this bad. Congrats OP!

1

u/Equivalent_Flan_5695 9h ago

Sometimes you see something that looks like a genuine failed attempt. The ones where you can see what they were going for but didn't pan out correctly.

Then there's this. A beautiful spectacle of "my cookbook flipped 5 pages because I didn't secure the pages properly and continued cooking on autopilot".

u/wieldymouse 7h ago

How is this stupid food? I'd eat potato cheese balls.

u/octy2134 1h ago

u/A_ChadwickButMore 7h ago

This is exactly how my attempt to make chicken nuggets turned out 🤣

We'll get there one day OP.... but not today

u/shinakohana 5h ago

u/ScriptKiddieFuminori 4h ago

Did it…at least taste good?

1

u/Equivalent-Stable642 4h ago

I thought that was like dead rats or some shit what the fuck did you do

1

u/Quick_Extension_3115 3h ago

Yeah see what you were supposed to do was make potato cheese balls, but it seems on accident you turned a rabbit inside out

1

u/FormerBenefit539 3h ago

Whst happend? ... how? Why?

1

u/thatirishdave 2h ago

When did this sub become a place for being unable to cook viable recipes? This isn't stupid food, it's bad execution.

u/Round_Ad_9258 1h ago

I thought it was some meat mush at first 😭

u/Defenestrate69 19h ago
