I love these! I also dice a onion and mix in while mashing. I make these for every family get together. Huge hit!

Have made these for years. Great when company's coming or to take along dish. I warm mine in the slow cooker for about 2 hours on low. Save space in oven when cooking your main dish

I've been using a recipe *very* similar to this one for the last couple of years during the holidays. The only differences between the two recipes are that the other one I found uses 8oz of cream cheese and 1 tsp of black pepper instead. Potatoes done this way are so awesome and I have gotten my inlaws hooked on this recipe as well. I really like that they can be put together the day before and you only have to heat them before serving. One caution I would have for anyone making this is that your oven may need more than 30 minutes to reheat them - in one oven it only took me 30, but this past year in a different oven they needed a little longer to be fully reheated. They're also really good even if you don't let them sit overnight beforehand. Thanks so much for posting this...I agree, they're delish and I highly recommend them to everyone!
