This is recipe is loved by everyone who has tried it. My husband's uncle kept this recipe a secret for many years and would not share it with anyone; we had to wait until he passed away, and then my husband's aunt gave us the recipe. I made these for a Thanksgiving dinner we had at church, and now every time we have any sort of meal at church I am always asked if I going to make uncle Dick's potatoes. Even in the summer, this is what they want me to make. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
There is absolutely nothing new different or unusual about this recipe. Then somebody please tell me why these were some of the best darned mashed potatoes I've ever had! I mean all I did was add a little butter! Read More
The convience of having the dish preprepared is great but I found it a bit tart tasting because of the sour cream & cream cheese. Still prefer the taste of basic mashed potatoes with milk & butter. Read More

I try to do as much advance preparation as I can for the time-consuming tradtional Thanksgiving dinner. This is one that ranks right up there with the best mashed potatoes I've ever had and it actually instructs you to refrigerate overnight. Is that convenient or what? Out of the fridge into the oven and you have a mashed potato casserole that will WOW everybody. Really although very simple and basic it is that good! Read More
Made as written. Excellent recipe, and make ahead option is a big plus if entertaining guests. RIP uncle Dick knowing your beloved, legacy recipe lives on, and enjoyed by many. Read More
I made these potatoes during the holidays and got so many compliments on them. One guest made it a point to tell me he didn't even care for mashed potatoes (not sure how) but said these were awesome and had to go back for seconds. Didn't change anything in the recipe - did exactly as directed. Thanks for sharing this! Read More
Denise - thanks to you and your husband's aunt for sharing this recipe. I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it! A lot of mashed potato recipes are bland or watery but these had plenty of flavor and body. These were definitely some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. (Used low fat cream cheese.)

This was okay but it didn't have quite as much flavor as I was hoping it would have despite the fact that I (thankfully) used one whole clove of garlic even though I halved the recipe. However maybe it having not too strong of a flavor is a good thing so it doesn't clash with the main dish. Also it was a bit dry even though I used more melted butter on top than what is called for. My husband however really liked it (hence the four stars). But when I make it again I think I'll increase the sour cream and/or creamed cheese a bit and maybe also add some shredded cheddar either in the mixture itself or on top. Hopefully that will help boost the flavor a bit. Read More
