This recipe does have it all. Everyone enjoyed this including my toddler who was wanting to be difficult and who eventually succumbed and who then couldn't get enough :-D! I used feta for the cheese. Dead easy and very yummy.

Great recipe, the garlic was not overpowering, and really offset the tangyness of the cheese perfectly!

Delicious! I left out the scallion and did not run it under the broiler due to time, but they were a fantastic hit! Thank you for posting this recipe!

These are the most awesome mashed potatoes EVER!!!! They're exactly as decribed.... rich, creamy, tangy and yummy! I chevre cheese. It was heavenly! I garnished with some extra chopped scallions (green parts). Thanx for sharing this recipe. It's a keeper!

This is a wonderful dish. Followed the recipe using ff half and half and chives instead of scallion. The beer can chicken and salad were ready, so we did not run under the broiler - still fantastic. Leftovers will be perfect for potato croquettes or shepherds pie. Thanks Evelyn.
