Great as written but can also be amended. I use 1-2 canned chipotle peppers, minced. Use salted butter or add salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I use yellow cheddar or colby. Also good with the addition of chopped cooked bacon. For creamy potatoes I add milk or heavy cream. Can also be made as "smashed" potatoes (boil or bake potatoes whole with peels; smash ingredients with potato masher, will result in lumpy rather than creamy potatoes). I usually serve with grilled steak.

Good pototoes, but as stated before, much too dry. I added quite a bit of milk to make it the consistency that my family likes.

Wow! These are really yummy potatoes. We did think they were a little drier than we like and are used to but that could just be us. I used 3 chipotle peppers minced and found that it was the perfect amount of heat for us. They reheated very well as well. Love the fact that these can be made ahead and kept warm. Very nice! Great recipe Lazyme!
