For "instant" mashed potatoes, these weren't too bad. I enjoyed them much more reheated in the microwave a day later. When I added the cheddar cheese, I added 1-1/2 cups, plus I also added 1/2 cup of HORMEL REAL BACON BITS, and topped the potatoes with 1-1/4 cups of the French fried onions. I baked these potatoes in the oven for exactly 25 minutes, and after I added the French fried onions, I baked them for just 4 minutes, as they do brown quickly. One more thing, after removing potatoes from the oven, I would let them sit for at least 5 minutes, so they can thicken up just a bit, (or your taters will be soupy) and no need to worry about them cooling off too soon, cuz they stay "hot" for quite sometime. Thank you for the recipe!! -
I have to tell you I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY with this recipe--why? Because I HATE, DETEST, YUCKY "instant potatoes" BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! At least, not the way "Eat it up" says to prepare 'em!!;o) This is, without a doubt, one of the BEST recipes I've ever tried from the "zaar" site. Taste? WONDERFUL! Easy to prepare? Absolutely! Is it a keeper? Let me put it this way, this baby is now in THE FRONT of my cookbook!! Try it you won't be disappointed..That's a promise! I wonder what adding cream cheese would do to it? Well, maybe not, IT's OFF THE HOOK just the way it is!! Enjoy! RED, Richmond,VA

I am 36 years old and the mother of four wonderful children. Two girls and two boys. ?Being a stay-at-home mom affords me ample time to indulge my passion for cooking and baking! (Thanks again to my wonderful husband!) My oldest daughter loves to help in the kitchen and wants to eat what she cooks, so that's helping broaden her eating horizons! My youngest daughter is still pretty picky, but we're dealing! Thank goodness my husband is gracious enough to eat whatever I cook. (I guess he knows that if he complains, he'll be asked to do the cooking himself!!)
