Creamy mashed potatoes get even better when topped with a savory trio of cheese, onions and bacon. Plus, these potatoes offer make-ahead appeal. —JoAnn Koerkenmeier, Damiansville, Illinois

Made these once for a funeral dinner at my church. Now is my "must bring" every time. People practically lick the pan!

Took this dish to my brothers for Christmas & every single person RAVED about it. I'm sure that it will be one of the top requested dishes for me to make from now on.

Wow! I made these for our Christmas family get-together Dec. 23, and they were a big hit! I didn't have the sour cream on hand, but I substituted 1/2 cup extra milk. I also used a little less seasoning (garlic and onion powders). When baked, they puffed up so light and creamy. A winner for family gatherings!

THIS IS A GREAT DISH. IT CAN BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME AND BAKED BEFORE SERVING.

Wonderful being able to prepare this recipe ahead of time. Thought it would be a little dry, but no, it was perfect. My husband, who isn't a mashed potato eater, thought it was great.
