Absolutely delicious! I made a half batch of these wonderful potatoes and wish I had made more. This dish is certainly Company-worthy and I'll definitely make them again. Made for the Football Tag game.

I made these lovely potatoes for our Thanksgiving meal this year. I followed the recipe ALMOST to the letter, with only 2 little changes. The few days prior to Thanksgiving, hubby and I got into a potato skin" eating marathon. Each day that I made the potato skins, I saved the "guts" of the potatoes in a tupper-ware bowl in the fridge. I say that I probably had made at least 12 pre-baked potatoes. So on Thanksgiving, I simply made the remainder of this recipe, skipping the boiling of raw potatoes. After everything was mixed, the potatoes seemed a bit thick (maybe because they were a little cold to start or that I had too many potatoes). I placed them in the oven as directed. About 10 minutes into baking, hubby asked if I would put some shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes. I thought, why not?! They tuned out silky and fantastic. We had young an old guest alike that raved over them and wanted to know what I put in them. I think next time I will go a little heavier on the garlic flavor (and these will be making an encore appearance on our Christmas table). Thanks for posting a keeper. (Made for Football Pool week 10 win)

Loved these potatoes, so yummy. Quick and easy to make with excellent results. Wonderful light and fluffy texture with lots of flavor. Made exactly as written but used fresh parsley, cause I had some in the house. Thanks for sharing a recipe that i will make again and again. My dh who hates garlic in potatoes loved these tasty taters.
