The family went crazy over these potatoes, BK! ;) We all appreciated those little "pockets" of cubed half-melted cheese and then we started to fight over them! I replaced half of the standard cheddar with an aged English bold & sharp white cheese. Homemade breadcrumbs, freshly grated Parm and to make my life easier-Yukon potatoes (no peeling!) Proud to say I ate all of the leftovers the next morning with a fried egg. This recipe would make for the perfect potluck or brunch offering. Prepared for the FYC tag game. Thank you!

Great potatoes! I didn't have leftover potatoes so used instant (didn't have time to make from scratch) and they still turned out very tasty! Made as written and loved the half-melted chunks of cheese mixed in the spuds. Will make these with our leftover potatoes! Made for AUS/NZ Recipe Swap #72.

Yum. Leftovers tasted great for a change. lol. These were wonderful and can't wait to try these next time the family comes over. Thanks for sharing, BK.

I can't imagine having left over mashed potatoes, so I boiled up some potatoes for this recipe. I left them skin on and used 5 baking potatoes for the 9x13 pan, and it was just the right amount. They were a little drier than I preferred so would probably add some sour cream or something next time, but went over fine at the family dinner.

Great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes! I had shredded cheddar, so I mixed shredded sharp and mild cheddar and rolled them into a ball to push into the potatoes. Also, I used shredded parm instead of grated.....even with the substitutions for what I had these turned out delicious! So happy I made them! Made for Market Tag game.
