Failing to find new potatoes at my local market, I used tiny russets the size of grape tomatoes. A little time-consuming to scoop those babies out but WELL worth it! I subbed rosemary for thyme.. I mixed the garlic salt/herb/onion/cheese together & chilled overnight, then followed the rest of the recipe (added my chilled mix @ step 8), sprinkled the paprika & baked that way. The cheese didn't brown because of my method but the paprika added enough color. My veggie and non-veggie guests LOVED this; parents & kids alike!

These are great! I made them for a party at work and they went long before the "professionally" made appetizers. I made them again for a party at home and they were equally as big a hit. I used fresh chives out of my garden instead of the green onion and I put some well cooked bacon in the mixer with the rest of the ingredients ... I also skipped the cheese. Wonderful!

Sorry Margery. I really wanted these to work but something happened to these guys once they got in the blender and it couldn't be undone. Once the sour cream was mixed in with the potatoes, the potatoes turned into a substance like wallpaper paste, except thicker. It even managed to break the plastic top off of my blade. Once I fished that out, I thought I would still give them a try since I had a whole bunch of empty potatoes but they were just as gooey after they were cooked. I really have no idea what I did wrong :(

This potatoes are FABULOUS!!! My family really enjoyed these. They LOOK fabulous, and taste delicious. I took your advice in your description, and sprinkled some crisp bacon on top, because my family likes this; I didnt put them on mine, however. The flavors in these potatoes are just magnificent. I would definitely make these for company :) Thanks again. I hope you post more recipes!!
