  1. These were "over the top" fabulous! I doubled the recipe for a small dinner party of 15 and there was not a bit left! I also was not sure what type of cheese to top them with, so I used sharp cheddar. These reminded me of twice baked potatoes without the shell :) Wonderful presentation and EVERYONE raved over them...thanks for sharing!
     
  2. I am back to add that these potatoes were just as fresh and delicious tasting after having been in the freezer 4 weeks, thawed and then reheated. And if I could I'd add at least 2 more stars for that convenience! They will definitely be on my holiday table. Gee, I can make potatoes now for both Thanksgiving and Christmas! Way cool! Thanks OzMartha!
     
  3. Oh my goodness, these were good. I couldn't keep my fork out of them as I was putting the food away. They are rich and flavorful and would work for just about any meal. Thank you for sharing with oh so yummy recipe.
     
  4. Awesome potatoes! Popped into cold oven from freezer and came out perfect! Whole family loved them! Super time saving idea! Will be making several batches of these wonderful potatoes to freeze again... Thanks!
     
  5. Tastiest mashed potatoes I have ever had! Made them for my first OAMC session. The serving was a bit too large for my small family, but next time I will freeze them in two containers so I don't waste any.

Tweaks

  1. I Loved the Texture and density of these potatoes, though personaly for me there was maybee a bit too much of the cheese/cream so would try using less and some extra garlic. I Did instead of adding the onion I Used 'onion and chive' lower fat cream cheese, and low fat sour cream to lower the fat a little.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.) Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
