These were delicious! I have to admit I had not read all the way through the recipe to the "bake 1 1/2 hours" and it was way too late to do that - so we just whipped them up & ate them straight away. We will definitely make them again - and maybe bake them maybe not (but probably not for an hour and a half that seems pretty long). Read More

These are soooo good - we are asked to bring them to every family holiday dinner! The one thing I do that isn't in the recipe is that I reserve some of the cooking water (from boiling the potatoes). Just as the potatoes are finishing up their boiling process I scoop out two ladles full and add them to my bowl of cream cheese. This helps to soften the cream cheese and also adds moisture and creaminess to the final product. Read More

These were amazing and everyone loved how creamy they were. I didn't add in the green onions or bake them. I also made them early and kept them hot in a crock pot for a couple of hours. Read More

Soooo good! Since it was Thanksgiving and we didn't have oven space I cooked them in the crockpot - on high for the first few hours then on low for a total of about 4 hours. I did use a tip from one of the other posters and added some water from cooking the potatoes. This made them very creamy and not dry at all. I beat them right in the crockpot very easy. Read More

I love this recipe and both my in-laws and my family love when I make it. I however use onion salt instead of actual onions. (small siblings don't exactly eat onions..) I also just serve it after mixing it all together. Didn't really enjoy the "crisp" top that the oven puts on it. Big hit and I make it ALL THE TIME!:) Read More

I do know I probably have never made this recipe exactly but I can't be bothered with exact measurements when I need to make a much smaller portion for myself. I also must admit I just don't see the point in baking them afterwards. I now always make my masked potatoes this way and they are always a hit if company is over. Read More

Delicious - like some others have said seemed a bit dry when I had finished mixing in the cream cheese so I added about 1/4 cup of heavy cream: made it RIDICULOUSLY creamy and rich. I also then added about a cup of ground cheddar and some garlic. Really brought out the sweetness in the cream cheese (and I'm sure quadrupled the calorie and fat content...but hell...it's thanksgiving) Read More
