JeniSchultz: I am very surprised this turned out for you. The eggs are beaten separately because you need the siffly beaten egg whites to provide lift and lightness. The same thing you beat egg whites to create a souffle. Beating the yolks help provide creaminess and lightness. The "simplification" you did was simply added beaten eggs and altered the entire dish and how it achieves its "puff" I am very surprised you did not rate it badly and blame it on the recipe.

I had simplified the recipe by beating the eggs (yolk and white) together before mixing with potatoes. I also decreased the amount of eggs to 2, and increased the amount of cheese to 1 cup. It turned out great! Jeni S.
