Outstanding! Outstanding! What more can I say but thank you! -
So easy! I loved that I could make it ahead of time and I even tripled the batch to feed three families. Still turned out great! Thanks for a keeper. -
Very tasty potatoes! I love how you can make them a few hours or the day before. I was a little worried at first that they were going to be a bit runny, they turned out great though! Thanks so much! get well soon! Made for Cook-A-Thon for Lorac -
Excellent! These mashed potatoes turned out great and tasted delightful. I garnished with some fresh cut chives. Thanks so much Lorac.... -
OK Lorac...don't hate me but I really cheated on these. I bought those "already made" mashed potatoes and added everything to them.They were super fast to put together and fabulous to boot!Everyone devoured them.Thanks so much!!!

Cut the recipe back to serve 2 people - no problem. Used whipped cottage cheese instead of sour cream. Love the Ranch dressing flavor. Excellent recipe. I love to be able to get a recipe ready early in the day and just pop it into the oven. May do this for my next company!! thanks Lorac
