WOW! During the week I do professional work, but on Saturdays I still do the weekend manager job at a mom 'n pop fast food joint where we also do catering. Today, the owner of the business came back from a catering event with about 20 lbs. of "leftover" mashed potatoes. I brought about 5 lbs. home all the while wondering what the heck I as going to do with that much. I had visions of a weeks worth of latke rip-offs, potato cakes, and, well, whatever I could come up with. Then, viola, here was this review. I tripled the recipe(considering the amount of potatoes I had on hand), and it's an absolute winner! I'll have no trouble finishing off all these mashed potatoes with this recipe all by myself. Thank you for the "original" recipe, and Barenaked Chef thank you for the reveiw, otherwise I don't think I'd have put so many mashed potatoes to good use.

Oh am I bad. I spent too much time looking at recipes and didn't have time to cook up potatoes so I had to use instant. These were so good. Thanks for posting this recipe. Made for I Recommend Red White & Blue.

These are so good and easy to make! DH and I love mashed potatoes so these were perfect. Made as written with yukon gold potatoes and they came out creamy and delicious! Made for I Recommend Tag.

Oh yum, yum, yum, this is sooo good! The french fried onions, taters and cheese go so well together and I loved the little surprise layer on the inside. Mmmm, a creamy, cheesy, crunchy delight! :)<br/>I used light sour cream and low-fat milk in the mashed potatoes and doubled the garlic powder, but other than that stuck to your recipe and everyone enjoyed it a lot. <br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Lorrie!<br/>Made and reviewed for I Recommend Tag Game May 2011.

This is so good! And an excellent way to use up leftover mashed potatoes! I made mine with instant and it still turned out delicious, creamy and tangy. Will put this in my regular line up!
