Awesome Potatoes!!
So good!

lisa grella from lansdale, PA

I love this without the bacon; vegetarian, easy to make and you can eat the whole pot.
Awesome potatoes

Sheila Carter from LITTLE ROCK, AR

I thought this was a delicious way to have mashed potatoes. You could also pour potatoes after they were mashed into a casserole dish and sprinkle the cheese on top and bake in oven for 20 minutes and have a baked mashed potatoes dish. Very good also.
The only way to do it.

I've been making mashing potatoes like this for years and years. I'm happy to see it included here.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO USE UP MY POTATOES, AND FOUND THIS RECIPE. IT WAS EASY AND EVERYONE LOVED IT. IN FACT MY CHILDREN WENT A STEP FURTHER, AND SPRINKLED THEIR HELPING WITH SHREDDED CHEESE.
"simply superb"

Sudha Hariharan from Markham, ON

My son is in his teens and has been asking me to prepare something with a combination of his favourite potatoes with a "lots of cheese" in it for a very long time. Hence I had prepared this dish the other day and was little apprehensive as to whether he will like it or not. Lo and behold, he exclaimed "it is simply superb mom" tagging along a request for me to make it daily if possible for him!
Great way for kids to love potatoes!

Cathy Carlson from Silver Creek, NY

I made these potatoes for my 22 month old grandson who doesn't eat anything cooked. He loved them! What a wonderful recipe!

Best taters ever!

Linda Nordwald from WARRENTON, MO

We love these cheesy mashed potatoes. Sometimes I top the mashed potatoes with fresh steamed broccoli, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. A family favorite anytime.
Love the idea

Evonne Robertson from Fraser, MI

I had never put carnations in my potatoes before, until I saw it on your web site and I love it. They are much more creamer and better tasting.

Creamy mashed potatoes

Elizabeth Eckley from SEBRING, OH

This was like a large baked potato (without the skin). I made it so that everyone could adjust their serving to have what they wanted as their toppings. This was a good idea since everyone has different ways they like their spuds.

This doesn't take long to put together and is a great new side dish to add to a lot of meals. We like it especially served with meatloaf. Whatever the case, it's nice to have mashed potatoes with no need for gravy!
Rich and tasty

KRISTEN LINES from AUSTIN, TX

This was so popular in my house that I've decided to make it a staple for Thanksgiving and other holidays. Of course, it's not the healthiest, but is a great indulgence every once in a while.
