Instead of grating the potatoes I cut them up into little toddler size pieces and I omitted the onions and added real bacon cut up and my family especially my kids gobbled this up.

Excellent! I also cheated by using thawed-out hash browns. I made this as a side dish for our Christmas Eve dinner. All ten of our guests loved it! I added a bit more cheese, but other than that, I followed the directions exactly. Thanks for posting a keeper! :)

I made this for Thanksgiving because I wanted something a little different from the traditional mashed. I got so many compliments from my guests...even the children (which was amazing). The best compliment however, was the empty casserole dish at the end of the meal.

These were fantastic! I made them for a function and they were quickly gobbled up. I love the fact that this uses real cheese and not Velveeta. Didn't change a thing except I used red potatoes and kept the skins on.

I am not going to rate this now because I deviated from the recipe, into unknown territory, and the results were not what I was hoping for. I used, for the first time, Just Potatoes Hash Browns. Another reviewer had used a similiar product as well. Assuming this was the same thing as chilled and shredded potatoes, I did not microwave them. I followed the instructions to the letter, cooked the potatoes longer in the oven, but they were not as done as they should have been. The salt was another thing. I had no idea how much salt to use, didn't use enough at the get-go and had to add as I ate. This has great potential w/the short-cut hash browns, but I'm going to have to do it again to get it right. Thanks Nimz for posting. I'll review it after figgering out where I went wrong.
