If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. !) stars, this is so good. But I will say, I made it with baked potatoes and that is what made it so good. Who would havew thought! I did use1 pint of heavy cream and 1 cup of half and half and the rest 1% milk. It did turn out thick and creamy and not for the "light" hearted crowd. I also used 1 cup of cheese, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and instead of green onions which I did not have, used chives. I'm not a big onion fan so it worked out great. I feel it could be served in an upscale restaurant with rave reviews. Thank you podapo.
