Excellent. I used leftover mashed potatoes and did everything just as the recipe stated. It was fantastic. I'll be making this again.

This came out very good. I made my own mashed potatoes to use in the recipe. They became very creamy and flavorful in this dish. Thanks!

Very enjoyable recipe. Easy to make ahead and then bake. Thank you!

I used fresh potatoes, omitted the bacon, used half of the herb cheese called for, and then added 1/4 c. sour cream. The result was awesome! We had with sour cream chicken and they went great together!

I used my own mashed potatoes for this in place of the packaged, something told me I should omit the bacon but added it anyway, that was a mistake, and also I did not care for the herb cream cheese flavour added to the potatoes, I might try this again without the bacon and a different flavor of cream cheese and definately less milk, thank you for sharing!
