18 potatoes
2 ounces fresh bread crumbs
1 (10 ounce) package instant mashed potatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove potato and breadcrumbs.
In a large bowl, beat mashed potatoes by hand with a potato masher or fork until fluffy. Stir in the salt, coating well. Sprinkle the potatoes with flour. Roll out the tops of the potatoes and roll them in the remaining flour, stirring only until completely coated. Place them into a large baking dish, and spread the mixture with the reserved potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for ~1 hour, until golden brown. Serve warm or cold.
