I think I did it wrong. I used my stand mixer to mix it but it didn't turn out creamy, still very chunky. After I baked it I had my skins swimming in butter. I guess you need to make sure you mix it a lot. I also was unsure as the amount of onion. I used 1/4 of a yellow onion and it is very oniony and I had doubled the batch. So it doesn't take much onion. Maybe next time I will hand mash the potatoes. I wanted this to work. I guess the moral is don't make a big batch until you know it will turn out.

I tried these with a friend as part of a freezer meal line up. We realized too late that we were missing the parmesan cheese so we left it out. It didn't matter, they were wonderful. Oh the smell in the kitchen was scrumptious too. I bought the potatoes at Sams, they were very large. I took home 8 for my freezer and later realized my husbands birthday was on Saturday. I just popped them out of the freezer the night before and heated them before the guests arrived. I sliced them in half. I received lots of compliments and no leftovers. Thanks Kittencal!!!
