These were so easy to make ahead and very good too. The flavor was a little more tangy than I expected, but maybe that was the brand of alfredo sauce I used. I think they would be delicious with some sauteed or canned mushrooms mixed in. I used a mushroom alfredo sauce, so there were mushrooms, but I'd love more of them. A yummy and convenient recipe. Thanks!

Very flavorful potatoes my family loved them. I like the combination of cheddar and mozzarella with just a hint of garlic. I found that the potato mixture was a bit thin next time I make this I will reduce the alfredo sauce by half see if that firms the potato. I agree very company worthy dish. Thanks for posting this recipe. Made for the potato/pasta challenge in the cooking photo fourm.

I just adore this new way to do twice baked potatoes. Perfect for those who do not like sour cream or just want something a little different. I used 1 envelope Knorr Alfredo made to package directions and 3 large potatoes and a little more cheese. The filling was still VERY soft and oozed over abit but was still wonderful all the same.

Very good and quite easy. I was surpiised at how well the purchased alfredo sauce complimented the potatoes and cheese. I stirred roasted garlic into the mashed potato mixture, instead of the garlic powder. I also accidentily omitted the egg...didn't realize I hadn't added it until the potatoes were in the oven. Still, these potatoes will be on our table again.
