Wow, I was in potato heaven last night. I made these almost exactly as written except for two things: I had a craving for mashed potatoes and somehow didn't realize that this recipe wasn't for mashed. So before putting them in the casserole dish to bake, I mashed them up so that they were chunky mashed potatoes rather than cubed. I also substituted non fat sour cream instead of fat-free yogurt and it turned out really tasty. I can't believe that these are fat free because they taste soooo good. It also makes a ton, so I have a good amount of leftovers. Thanks for a great recipe!

I loved this!! I made it with Manhandler Meatloaf that I found on the Weight Watchers site. When I realized it called for green onions in addition to onion, it was too late to go to the grocery store as I was already cooking. It was plenty "oniony?" without but I love onion so next time I will try it with the green onions. The texture was wonderful and the only thing I will change is to add a little more mustard, to kick it up. In my opinion it was the richest creamiest dish I've had while on a diet. Oh btw: I figured out the points to be 3 pts a serving which I calculated for 8 servings and 7 cups of potatoes instead of 6. but I know it's acurate because I used the recipe builder on the official WW site.Thank you again for a great low fat meal that the rest of my family didn't mind eating!
