I have to revise my review. I made this recipe a second time, and it turned out beautifully. I must have made some mistake the first time I made it. There were no leftovers.

I had mashed potatoes left over and found this recipe in my search to use them up. I made it with the herb and garlic soup mix and swiss cheese. Aside from the fact it was a one-dish meal, which is always a plus, it tasted rich and heavenly. Felt like I was in a little bistro in France! I had some chopped broccoli left over that I threw in also. It was an extremely delicious, satisfying comfort food meal. Definitely will make sure I always make extra mashed potatoes for this one.
