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

Very good, I forgot the sour cream and didn't miss it. Used low fat milk, cheese and cream cheese and it was still great.

Served these for Christmas dinner yesterday and they were a HUGE hit! Loved being able to make these the day before, then heat before dinner. Added some extra cheese right into the potato mixture, too...yum!

Lots of whining last Easter when I said, "Sorry, no gravy." This recipe shut them up quick. So delicious it should be against the law!

Delicious! I cut the fat by using light cream cheese and sour cream and skim milk. Also skipped the onions.
