I have been making mashed potatos for 40 years. This recipe tweaked it to perfection. i left out the onion powder but sauteed onions and transferred half of potatoes to second crockpot and put onions in those. Both were excellent and the one with the onions went so quickly at Thanksgiving that i got 2 spoonfuls. The sour cream and eggs were the only ingredients i had not used in mashed or twice baked before. This recipe was put in the keeper book and my son has taken a copy back to Washington so he can make them

I made this recipe last year for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! I definitely plan to make it again this year. I made it the night before and it was nice to have one less thing to fuss with on the busy day. I also appreciated having one less side dish in the oven or on the stove.

I prepared this recipe last Sunday and plan to prepare it for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a big hit with all and not a bite left.
