These were very good! I loved the smoky flavor! They were nice and thick and creamy just like I like them! Even my mashed potato hating husband said these were the best he had ever eaten! Emeril knows his stuff!

Add more salt to the water and potatoes before boiling.

These are good but we think they need more flavor. I think next time we'll add more salt (or use salted butter instead of unsalted) and more cheese. I LOVE the flavor of smoked gouda, and these were a bit more subtle than we would like. We will make them again though. They were super simple. The only change I made this time was using red potatoes and leaving the skins on, because that's what I had on hand.

I make this every Thanksgiving and everyone just loves it! I love smoke gouda and to combine it with potatoes, butter, and cream...it seriously doesn't get any better than this. I watched Emeril make this a few years back and went out and bought the ingredients right away....delicious! I will be making it tomorrow for Turkey Day! :)

Best mashed potatoes on the planet! If you can find smoked gouda from Denmark, that was we used and it was the best. We've tried american smoked gouda and it has nothing on the europeans.
