i made mine with fat free milk and magerine but no onions (didn't have any) and it was still really good! it probably came out a little thicker than normal because i didn't stir it continuously, but i would definetly make this again! Thanks!

This is really good! I did half 2% milk and half chicken stock, and i stirred in a little cheddar cheese too! YUM

I gave it a 5 star for how easy it was and how tasty it was. I used a bag of Idahoan Garlic Mashed potatos and 1/3 cup of regular instant potatoes from a box. No green onion or fresh garlic... instead added powdered onion and powdered garlic. The kids loved it!!

I gave this 5 stars for being simple and quick. I thought it was great. I would leave out the salt but I don't use a lot of salt so it was a little salty for me. I added cheese and crumbled bacon. Thank you for sharing.

This recipe sucks so bad, honestly. Did it all according to instructions, and got potato soup FLAVOURED thick mashed potatoes. Not a soup at all.
