We like these potatoes. Very good. I add fresh garlic and use WW shredded cheese. I use Smart LIght in place of the butter and use 1% milk - just what we always have in the house. Snipped chives or chopped scallions are a great addition as well.

Very good! I was pleasantly surprised, although I wouldn't mind a little more flavor- might experiment with herbs and seasonings. I cut the sauce recipe in half for the two of us, and used 2 large potatoes.<br/>This kind of potato recipe rarely cooks thoroughly for me in the oven, so I let them boil for several minutes on the stove top, stirring constantly. Worked well; they were just tender enough later, after the specified baking time.

Wonderful! I forgot to put the salt and pepper in so it was a little bland, but that was my fault. I will definately make again. Unfortunately, my 6 yo didn't like it, which took me by surprise, but that won't stop me from making it for myself and DH. Thanks!

This was a great "light" dish! Didn't even notice that it was missing all that fat! Will be a repeat - thanks!

These potatoes are wonderful!!!! I added just a couple slices of low fat Velveeta for a little more cheesiness (which increased the points a touch), but these potatoes were just as good as the full fat version!! A little time consuming... but DEFINITELY worth the time... anxious to make again!!!!!!
