"I love this recipe because it uses Swiss cheese instead of the usual Cheddar."

We made this for school and everyone loved it. I even made this at home again since the one from school was not enough. One of the best recipes ever. I love it ;)

Great tasting mashed potato. I added 1/4 c more milk as suggested by Parsley, it turned out perfect...not too dry and not too wet. Didn't add parsley on top. Baked at exactly 30min. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. UPDATE: use 1K potato, use exact 1c milk baked in 8x8 glass for about 20min. Use 1 bar land o lakes sharp cheddar, very cheesy potatoes indeed

Tastes just like au gratin potatoes...except a nice smooth texture. I added some extra milk, and I'm glad that I did because it dries out some during baking. I also put a little extra cheese on the top;) Yummy! Thanx for sharing this. I'll make this again.
